Bird friendly wind turbines

Hey Green Scene viewers! Here's a topic that's near and dear to my heart - wind power. The great thing about wind power is that the technology is not continually changing. If you have the room for a wind turbine you can pretty much run it till the arms fall off the thing. You won't be tossing out a highly toxic device when the next generation comes along, as is the case with solar power. And there's no messy radioactive byproduct!
Of course sharp blades turning at a high velocity are not that great for the local bird population. So that's why I was really happy to see that the wind industry is looking at wind turbine designs that are bird friendly. Watch this video to see a design inspired by 1,000 B.C.E. (Before Common Era) Egyptian technology.

The next generation of turbines will soon become the seed of the next generation. Hopefully, these new designs will appeal visually to those that find the traditional turbine a bit of an eyesore. Some roof top models have turbines knocked on their sides(unconventional) to capture winds that roll up and over the buildings that make up our cities.
