[lbo-talk] catastrophy

[Wojtek S]

[WS:]  Again, thanks Gar for a link to the Jacobson paper. It was
quite useful.  I have two follow up questions, though.

First, I often heard the argument that wind turbines are quite bad for
the wild bird populations, yet Jacobson does not mention it in his
rather brief section on environmental impact.  How much truth is in
this claim?

Second, some time ago you mention another option - high altitude wind
turbines (suspended by propellers.)  Jacobson does not seem to mention
this option.  Any idea why and how would this change his argument
about the need for a backup hydro system?
