FALCON WITH GPS COULD SAVE BIRDS FROM WIND TURBINES

Falcons are perfected aerial machines, evolved over millennia to be very, very good at being falcons. Unfortunately, upstart Homo sapiens have put a few obstacles in the path of these raptors, like intruding quadcopters or deadlywind turbines. What’s the best way to still capture all the renewable energy from the wind while leaving the creatures of the air alive and unharmed? Recruit a falcon as a guide and strap a GPS on his back, according to theNational Renewable Energy Laboratory.
