Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds

  Some very few do.

  But “Windfarms hurt birds” is 90+% fossil fuel propaganda. Yes birds run into windmills, they also run into skyscrapers and houses and antennas and planes.

  We should of course look for ways to mitigate that. We should not just pretend smokestacks do no harm and not develop renewable energy projects.

  Just vultures, cranes, geese, ducks, kites, condors…

  The tether / power transmission line does pass through potential flight paths, tho.

  Still, I imagine the impact to be even less than ground-based turbines.
