Wind Power

Australia has excellent wind resources by world standards.
Modern wind turbines (vertical axis) are almost silent and rotate so slowly (in terms of revolutions per minute) that they are rarely a hazard to birds. Wind turbines are designed to produce energy across a wide range of wind speeds and wind conditions. Vertical axis wind turbines go one step further, harnessing winds from all directions simultaneously. VA wind turbines are also very quiet, and it certainly helps that these turbines are pleasing to the eye.
