household cats are the biggest threat to birds, im sure road traffic has a much bigger impact on them too !

weve also gotten used to living right next main roads which are everywhere im sure we can put up with the sound of slow rotating turbines

as for the cost effective bit im sure they are becomming more and more cost effective as the industry matures.

i think every house should have its own small scale turbine together with PV and we should get a little closer to meeting our energy needs.
