A key part of President Obama's energy plan -- replacing fossil fuels with green alternatives -- is facing increasing opposition from environmentalists.
Some environmentalists, who have successfully fought a wind farm on the border of Oregon and Washington, are trying to block a massive solar plant in the Mojave desert. And now an Oregon county is considering a ban on wind power in the foothills of the blue mountains.
Richard Jolly of the Blue Mountain Alliance says 400-foot wind turbines are a bird-killing eyesore. The developer argues the danger to birds is exaggerated but admits every big energy project has its downside.
This arises a big question in me about the views of environmentalists about algae energy projects?

Not sure what you have in mind. Why should environmentalists object to algae fuels? Their reasons for objecting to wind farms are simple - wind farms do take up a lot of farm area in many places, and wind farms also can create noise pollution, and large scale wind farms could affect the environment in neighbouring areas. I don't see what types of environmental problems algae could create for the greens to go against it
