Reading about it again today as I started to write, I learned that the number of birds killed by large solar farms and wind turbines now equals an astronomical 2.9 billion. The process of procuring energy with either of these means seems recklessly cruel to wildlife.
“Green” power is also inefficient. The need for backup power to use when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow means costly firing up of alternative means of power or risking brownouts.
