Wind farm along Backbone Mountain harms few birds
Officials say Mountaineer Wind Farm in Tucker County has killed fewer than one bird per year per home linked to the 66 megawatt project. Environmentalists note some deaths but contend the impact is far less than feared and turbines can be relocated if needed. A bat die-off was caused by a misused security light, not the turbines.
