Your Questions About Wind Generators Alaska

Is growing population really the problem.. or is it more like greed of consumption?

When we mention a population problem, people imagine an overcrowded world. There are six billion people on the planet. If everyone stood within five feet of each other, each person would take up five square feet. That would be over 150 billion square feet. Texas, for example, is well over 14 trillion square feet. All the people in the world would fit comfortably in a small space about the size of New Jersey without touching each other and all the rest of the land on earth would be empty. This is a population problem?

Will wind generators be outlawed since they are killing birds such as eagles?

The massive fiberglass blades on the more than 4,000 windmills have been chopping up tens of thousands of birds that fly into them, including golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, burrowing owls and other raptors.

It is illegal to kill eagles in this country. So will the windmills be outlawed?

Robert N. Patrick Jr., 51, was fined $1,275 recently on a federal charge of violating the Bald Eagle Protection Act and using a restricted-use pesticide.

Should they be banned?
lonewady – what a great answer. If you kill a bald eagle, you can go to jail. Without coal you would not be able to give stupid answers on Yahoo.
