Windfarms do not cause long-term damage to bird population, study finds.
For many years it was believed that windfarms cause long term damage to bird populations. A study has been done by conservationists into the impact of windfarms to ten of the key species of Britain. The conclusion is that these bird populations are not harmed, but that they can co exists or even thrive with windfarms once operating. So this goes against the widespread allegations that windfarms would be "bird blenders".
What did come out to be negative in this research is the fact that constructing the windfarms does have a negative effect on birdpopulations. So it is very important that in future constructing of windfarms, constructers choose a suitable site so the damage to birdlife is reduced to a minimum.

This is a difficult dilemma. Windfarms are built to help the environment. Windfarms are supposed to produce "green energy", which supposed to be better than the traditional ways of producing energy. So maybe they do, but on the other hand while constructing these windfarms, a lot of damage is done to the birdlife. Considering this fact, do windfarms still produce "green energy"?
I have never thought the windframes might cause damage to the life of birds. I do think the windframes are ugly and are a thorn in the flesh for loads of nature lovers. I'm really sceptic abou the amount of energy they make and sometimes when I pass them on the highway and it is almost completely windstill, they still keep rotating... I think these machines are an epic fail and that solar panels are much more effective.
