Bill McKibben Opines on the Necessity of Wind Energy

"If you've spent your life fighting for birds, it's hard to say "some birds may die in this windmill" (and it's perfectly smart to work with turbine manufacturers and wind developers to minimize that possibility, as many people have).

In the name of wild beauty, I want that windmill out my window."
