RE: "Dangerous" nuclear plants

["Estabrooks, Bates (IHK) " <IHK@Y12.doe.gov>]

Norm,



I will pass up the opportunity to make sport of your expressed need for more

"wind."  It seems we have plenty of that.



But, I will comment on your implication that nuclear plants should be

replaced with wind power.  I am an avid outdoorsman and wildlife enthusiast;

former Audubon Soc. member, and member of the American Birding Association.

I edited the currently used field guide on bird watching locations in

Western Pennsylvania.  As such, I have a huge gripe with wind farms,

windmills, etc.  These facilities kill multiple thousands of migrating

passerines (warblers, finches, etc.) each year.  Not to mention that their

appearance and noise are a blight on any landscape.



Those who oppose nuclear plants will need to come up with a better

alternative than wind power.

	Now what do you think I'm going to say? ;-)  Sorry, but I

respectfully reply

	that this shows we need to phase out the oldest and most dangerous

plants

	and

	replace them with alternative energy, especially wind.



	Peace,
