:8 8 Did the development of industrial wind Slaughter birds, bats and endangered species in Europe? 2002 study (Spain) wind turbines and their power lines killed each year: 11,200 birds of prey (many of them already endangered), 350,000 bats, 3,000,000 small birds US Fish and Wildlife official study: each turbine tower kills 20–40 birds each year The largest industrial wind farm in California kills 20 to 30 Golden Eagles every year. Yes! What are they trying to do in Maine? :9 What are they trying to do in Maine? Replace existing electric power generation, including hydroelectric, biomass, co-generation, and natural gas with industrial wind turbines. Install 3,000 Megawatts of wind power on-shore by 2030, 1,200 to 1,800 turbine towers ($7 billion) 45 stories tall Install 250+ miles of new high tension electric lines ($2 billion) Build 2000 to 4000 turbines off-shore.
