Instead of stopping a big, heavy windmill why not just put a laser on top of the mill and zap the birds before they can damage the mill?Billllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13913354887560267235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472211903033725545.post-82663975858491024592016-03-04T08:20:40.719-07:002016-03-04T08:20:40.719-07:00Wouldn't it be a something if the radar burned...Wouldn't it be a something if the radar burned out the birds brains? I wonder what the greenies would have to complain about then - their expensive fix did more harm than good. Think "unintended consequences".<br /><br />Also, for the large commercial windmills, what do you think it would take to stop those blades quickly? Possible the the electric brakes would use more energy than the plant could produce. Net result - a reduction in the power available in the grid.<br /><br />MerleMerlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351769452837850427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472211903033725545.post-54073587993074362952016-03-04T08:04:33.199-07:002016-03-04T08:04:33.199-07:00Does the windmill produce enough wattage to power ...Does the windmill produce enough wattage to power the radar?Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090687736202622960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472211903033725545.post-821672266816231032016-03-03T17:46:33.041-07:002016-03-03T17:46:33.041-07:00I thought this was a joke, but no.....
