Perhaps the most unfortunate aspect of wind energy is the notion that we (society) have to tailor everything to the corporate model. In other words, we could utilize residential scale turbines that pose a much lesser risk to migrating birds. But the turbines in the Midwest pose little threat anyway when placed in big rowcrop ag fields where there is little concentrated bird movement. The Appalachian region and similar mountainous places are another story...

It is indeed, unfortunate. There seems to be no escaping the
conclusion that all forms of energy production come at some kind of
price. We need to minimize the "side-effects" or collateral damages of
all of them---and start by examining our own energy consumption.
