Atlantic City Wind Farm
TRENTON, N.J. Construction has started in Atlantic City on New Jersey’s first energy-producing wind farm.
A Pennsylvania company is building five wind turbine towers, each about 300 feet high.
The company, called Community Energy, says once the windmills are completed in December, they’ll provide enough electricity to power about three thousand to four thousand homes.
Supporters of wind energy say it provides a clean source of renewable energy.
But some critics say the windmills are dangerous to traveling birds.
The New Jersey Audubon Society and Community Energy will be studying how the windmills affect bird migration patterns.

On a side note, yearly vehicle collisions with deer account for more than 150 human and nearly 1.5 million deer fatalities. Are these same critics calling for the banning of automobiles?
