Another point of interest is the construction of off-shore wind generators in Europe. If memory serves correctly, there multi-megawatt arrays being established in the north sea. Fewer NIMBY problems, and stronger & more reliable winds. It would be interesting to know what the relative bird-strike risks for on and off shore wind farms, and whether there is any data on pelagic bird mortalities. Regards, Laurie. .
