CRAP !!
According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, collisions with wind
turbines kills between 140,000 and 500,000 birds annually. Other energy
sources, such as coal, oil and power lines, contribute to millions of bird
deaths. However, cats remain the biggest threat to birds, killing an
estimated 1.3 to 4 billion birds each year.

*I doubt that anyone would intentionally run out of gas while driving. Nonetheless, a law was passed in Youngstown, Ohio stating that running out of gas on the road is a misdemeanor offense. As if running out of gas wasn't bad enough, you could also end up with a ticket. The penalty for this offense is a “minor misdemeanor,” which means that an individual could pay a fine of up to $150 if convicted. Not a lot, but certainly a bit more than a tank of gas. Better double-check your fuel gauge before heading out on a trip in Ohio!
