Catch A Breeze!

There are a few drawbacks to wind farms, as anyone who has driven Interstate 580 through Altamont Pass already knows. They take up space, they are noisy, and many people consider them unsightly (although, personally, I think they look pretty cool!). Another ecological concern is the number of birds and bats who die flying into these turbines. However, the climate changes caused by global warming may be a larger threat to wildlife.
I think it is only a matter of time until we are dependent on renewable-energy resources, almost exclusively. The thing about "non-renewable-resources" is that, soon, they won't exist.
