In hurricane windmill blades could be danger for nuclear plant

The discussion on the proposed windmills on our coast seems to have ignored the serious potential of devastating damage that these structures could cause.

Y ¿ qué nos dice ? - Nos dice que mató a 11 (según el empresario) o puede que hasta 18 (según los ornitólogos) águilas de una especie en peligro de extinción.
