From the article:

I am all for clean energy, but only if it is safe energy. So let’s be realistic here, birds and bats do not get hacked from the air by nuke plants. And I know from personal experience, living on Chesapeake Bay near the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, that fish love  the warm water outlets from such installations. Over the past 40 years there have been more deaths attributed to wind power than to nuclear power, yet nuclear power is the one always called “unsafe” by conservationists. [Emphasis by folc.ca] It’s time to grow up children—if you want to save the birds, the bats and the humans, embrace the power of the atom.

The article contains photos and video clips of damage to wild life and of the dangers posed by wind turbines.
