Re: Wind turbines

Hi,

I know nothing about wind turbines, and have only seen one stand-alone at Reading, we were amazed at it's size, after watching it and reading about bird deaths, I can't understand how a bird can fly into a blade, they appear to travel so slowly, anyway, couldn't some sort of reflective material be used on the leading edges, I realise that wouldn't help night flyers of course but it might be a start, maybe it's not technologically feasable or too expensive.

Max.
