Newsom California solar farm kills thousands of birds.

Agreed with storage…and chips will continue to develop. Right now it is the processing that takes power. Not necessarily the size of the storage.

The data centers are like high speed rail. A scam.

Well hopefully they function better than the rail in Cali.

How curious that the bird seemed almost attracted, like he was hanging around, interested, he almost went out of his way to get hit. Could it be that these generators actually draw interest from these birds? How hard can it be to design something that actually repels birds, chases them away?

What do you think?

It's the magnetic fields generated by the turbines

Same with the whales

The problem, as I see it, is that the wind farms are built out in the middle of nowhere. Right smack dab in areas where birds of prey hunt for rabbits, squirrels, etc. The eagle was likely flying around looking for game and not even focused on the monstrosity.

What rail in California. The train to nowhere? What a collosal scam

What rail in California. The train to nowhere? What a collosal scam

Started at an estimated $30 billion.

Now $250 billion and not operating.

Full on grift.

That is a distinct possibility. I've often thought that these wind generators need something around them, I don't know, maybe a frame or something to define a whirling blade within it, red colored tips, something that makes a noise scaring birds away as it spins and air blows through it, but I guess any of these things would make wind farms uglier and more obnoxious.

Not a bad idea. Something noisy might help. Personally, I would like to see them go away. They aren't as effective as people believe them to be. They still require "fossil fuel" to produce and transport. They also require a good bit of maintenance. Then there's the problem of disposing of them once they're reached their life span.

The thing is, wind farms are very inefficient. At least with solar, 100% of the sunlight is blocked and absorbed into the panel to make electricity, but stand behind a wind farm and you feel wind. Probably 95% of the air blows right through a wind farm, the blades only utilize a tiny portion of all of the available energy!

I've actually had an idea for a better wind generator that is long and thin, less obtrusive, more efficient, and cannot hit or kill birds, I've also had an idea for a wind generator which creates electricity from a piezo effect caused by the flapping of a surface as the wind runs over it.

Mass killing of birds, huge carbon footprint.

Tell me again how this is “green energy?

Obama-era 'clean energy' solar power plant still uses fossil fuels – and kills thousands of birds annually

An Obama-era solar plant in the Mojave Desert kills thousands of birds with its concentrated solar rays and relies on natural gas to operate each day.

But but but, all the electric is free I tells ya.

Your existence has caused some animal to have to flee its home to provide you with a home. When have humans ever been capable of creating a supernova on the planet?

LOL, yet we can stop the HUMAN cause killings of wildlife that have no concept of what the blades or solar units does to them, they are not equipped to deal with it.

Gee are you really that clueless about natural life behaviors?

Loggers and timber merchants cut down the thousand-year-old “Mark Twain” redwood, which stood approximately 100 meters tall and had a diameter of nearly 5 meters; it was over 1,340 years old at the time of its felling.

California, USA, 1891.

Since the late 19th century, the capitalist timber industry in the United States, driven by its endless greed, has cut down thousands of these magnificent redwoods for profit in the construction industry; approximately 95% of the redwood forests have been destroyed.

The original redwood forests covered more than 800,000 hectares... in just over a century, ruthless logging reduced this ecosystem to less than 5%, which is now protected.

Worst of all, these trees were so thick that they shattered when they fell, so most of the wood was wasted, and loggers began using explosives to fell them, resulting in the destruction of all the trees without even using all the wood.

As Marx said, capitalism is the only system that, in its greedy pursuit of money, devours even its own sources of wealth—people and nature.
