Question for Chris re: wildlife impacts -- I agree that in grand scheme of things the wind industry and technology has greatly improved and the number of direct bird mortalities caused by collisions is relatively low.. especially compared to house cats, glass buildings, etc BUT what about the larger issues of habitat fragmentation, species displacement etc. As I understand it these issues are much less understood. What is wind industry doing to research, monitor, and avoid such wildlife issues?
