You would be referring to the wonderful implementation of
environmentally friendly power generation that the current crop of
environmentalists want closed down because birds hit the bladed and
die - correct? You just can't make some activists happy anymore

Congratulation -- you drank the Kool Aid. No one -- no
environmentalist -- believes that myth. There was some worry about
it, enough to prompt a study, that showed that birds have no problem
with the blades and steering clear of them. Birdstrikes occur, but
are relatively rare, down in the statistical noise.

But believe everything that Rush tells you, because he's soooo
intelligent and open minded.

Jesse Jackson, upon Henry Hyde and Maxine Waters, upon Barbara Boxer
and Orrin Hatch." - Lance Morrow,
