D.C. ~Protest Takes on Bird Killing Wind Turbines

Washington, D.C. - A mock wind turbine was erected Monday, March 12 at noontime in Washington, D.C.'s Freedom Plaza to highlight the threat that wind, a celebrated alternative energy source, poses to the American bird community.
Monday's event is part of The National Center for Public Policy Research's "Occupy Occupy D.C." events at Freedom Plaza. The National Center obtained a five-week permit from the U.S. Park Service that forces the Occupy D.C. encampment to share the park between February 12 and March 15.
"At some point the slaughter of birds and bats by taxpayer-subsidized wind turbines is going to trigger serious legal action," added National Center Senior Fellow Bonner Cohen, Ph.D. "If the full force of the Migratory Bird Treaty and the Endangered Species Act were brought to bear on these unsightly killing machines, investors would turn their backs on this artificial industry in a heartbeat."

The weekly standard reported that
the target of Monday's protest are environmentalists who believe wind energy is a viable substitute to other forms of energy, such as coal or nuclear energy.

Recently, Nuclear power has been gaining ground as a viable alternative, capable of efficiently satisfying energy needs around the globe. a document leaked to The Guardian emphasizes that the UK government wants Nuclear power to be given parity with renewables in Europe, this would significantly boost atomic energy in Britain and downgrade investment in renewable generation.
