Windpower
[edit]I've removed your contribution there, and here is the explanation, which i hope you will take to heart, and not be discouraged by:
- Most of this was redundant information that is handled at Environmental effects of wind power, and it contains some errors as well. For instance the sentence "A study in 2001 concluded that 90 percent of the raptures killed in united stated where from wind power turbines in California." is incorrect - if we go to the source it says: "A 2001 summary that examined raptor mortality rates from studies in 10 states estimated that over 90 percent of the raptors killed annually in the United States by wind power turbines occurred in California." - which is quite different. (ie- 90% of raptors killed by wind power where killed in California not 90% of all raptors killed where from wind power in California). On noise you have to bear in mind that the decibel scale is a logarithmic scale, so a comparison of the figures 95-106.5 db to 110-140 db may be misleading
