However, coal power plants are by far the most injurious to all species, us included. So we will continue down the road of fouling our environment, increasing the human population, depleting our non-renewable resources and decimating all other species. Just where do you think that road leads?

Really Mr Gillies? How? can you please show us readers any independent scientific evidence of this – don’t bother looking because there is none . Its just part of the ‘green dream’
repeated over and over by the parasitic wind energy companies for the naive and gullible general public
Fact is, if you really do your homework and begin to understand the
technicalities of electrical generation you will find that wind power will more than likely cause an increase in pollution and will cost you a fortune while doing so.
Wake up and get educated people

There only two wind farm sites in North America where windfarms have killed an enormous amount of Bats. One in West Virgina and ONe in Alberta Canada. Still these Wind Farms only killed an average of five bats per turbine. Hardly the thousands that was stated earlier. Please don’t believe everything you read. Investigate further. Research, research research. How many Bates do you think our Coal plants kill every year not to mention HUMANS.

I am very thankful that Michigan has a dedicated biologist such as Barb Barton. Without her dedication to endangered species, our state would lose some of what makes it stand out against other states.
