If a bird flies in to that gigfantic blade they must be dumb or blind. Plus they do not turn all that fast.

It has been several years since I have been there but San Juanico on the pacific coast of Baja was off the grid when I was there and had a fairly large wind farm in addition to solar panels everywhere:

Gamesa: Mexico's market leader
In Mexico, Gamesa has signed a new contract for the supply of 100 MW of its turbines to a big utility. With this agreement, the company demonstrates its leadership in the country, where it is the largest wind turbine manufacturer, having garnered a market share of over 73%, according to the most recent wind report by BTM Consult.
Under the terms of the contract -signed in 2Q 2014-, Gamesa will supply and install 50 G97-2.0 MW turbines at a wind farm located in central Mexico. The wind turbines are scheduled for delivery during the first quarter of 2015 and the wind farm is expected to be commissioned during the last.
Gamesa has a significant presence in Latin America and particularly in Mexico, where the company has installed 1,067 MW and services 873 MW. In that market, Gamesa also is engaged in the development and sale of wind farms. As a wind power developer, Gamesa has developed, built and commissioned close to 250 MW in Mexico and it is building another 70 MW.

Out of all the open space they could put that eyesore they picked that spot? Why do they just not put it on the Malecon? All be it they are uglier than hell, the region is about as windy as a place can get or at least when I want to fish. They could put in quite the farm and if and when and if they do I just hope it is a little more North as they are just unsightly.
