Eco-Friendly’ Energy Slaughtering Wildlife

Numerous studies by biologists and ornithologists are unequivocal in expressing rising concern about the slaughter of birds and other creatures by so-called eco-friendly technologies. Many of the researchers, while not opposed to the concept of alternative sources of energy, are dropping the pretense that wind and solar energy are benign.
The fundamental flaw of these technologies is their low energy density. To generate the same amount of reliable electricity as a natural gas-fired generator or a nuclear power plant, thousands of acres of additional land are required by wind and solar. This is a matter of physics. Yet, in a rush to meet arbitrary “net zero” targets, the environment supposedly being protected is destroyed.
Wind and solar facilities devastate wildlife, destroy habitats, fragment ecosystems and leave ecological wreckage that extends far beyond what the green lobby cares to acknowledge. The narrative of politicians and well-heeled environmental NGOs – that wind and solar are the saviors of the natural world – is a lie. The data prove that these projects are not just displacing wildlife but are killing it on an industrial scale.
A shocking assessment reveals the extent of this encroachment. Wind and solar farms overlap with 2,310 threatened amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles globally. This accounts for 36% of the world’s threatened species. The “green” utopia is being built on the graves of the vulnerable.
