Star Energy Corp has won the NT$3.2 billion (US$98.2 million) bid to provide wind-power generation facilities to Taiwan Power Co. See yesterday's Taipei Times for the story.

While we support and understand the need for cleaner energy, we are alarmed at what appears to be the exclusion of consideration of the impact that such windfarms will have on coastal Important Bird Areas (IBAs) and humpback dolphin habitat.
