You have to remember that the purpose of the climate hysteria is to help rich people get richer from so-called renewable energy. That is the over-riding mission. And a secondary benefit is to get people frightened enough to vote for radical whackos. Every now and then evidence sneaks through the hysterics firewall to display just how un-green renewable energy sources are, particularly solar and wind generation. Here is an article from Nature detailing the horrific impact of wind turbines on our feathered friends. Thousands and thousands of birds and bats are killed by these chopping machines. Insect populations are disrupted as are the activities of wildlife And the key quote goes like this:
“Across the construction, operation and decommissioning stages, wind facilities are associated with wildlife fatality and behavioural change as well as alteration, loss and fragmentation of terrestrial and aerial habitat.”
What more need I say. And all to get a form of electricity that is unreliable and far more expensive than traditional generation sources. (Nature Study)
Jacobsons 100% renewable studies are quite laughable on this topic. Jacobson’s claim is that the all the land in the surrounding wind farm remains fully useful for farming and ranching with the exception of the actual area of the wind turbine structure. Yet no mention of the reduced productivity/ reduced crop yields.
