Breath of Life: Ethical Wind Power and Wildlife Reed Elizabeth Loder 10 Vt. J. Envtl. L. 507 (Spring, 2009)

From the article: This article examines the toll on wildlife associated with inland wind power generation, an issue ethically less amenable to balancing costs and advantages.

Although I leave technical and legal analyses of wind policy largely to others, those perspectives inevitably implicate ethics. I contend that making explicit the ethical underpinnings of law and policy discussions results in a more reflective, deliberative process and more justified decisions.
