The really unfortunate thing is that the Altamont  project was build 
during a period when these birds were very few.  It is only since the 
banning of DDT that the populations has gotten much larger.  I believe 
that today there would EIS taking place before any new wind farms are 
built.  I knew a lot of the people in the Altamont Group and I am sure 
that this project would not have been built if they had known beforehand 
that birds deaths would result from the project.
