Gessner reacted skeptical to the "statistic" about wind farms and the Gulf oil spill. He had an answer for the reason the wind opponent gave him and he also had an answer from Jim Gordon for that problem. He included this interaction because it is useful to support his final opinion in favor of wind farms and also because it is about birds and he considers himself a birdwatcher.
