"Two new studies could change critics’ opinions about how many birds die from wind turbines"
To the people who think #wind #turbines and #solar #farms spoil the #natural #landscape; it's worth remembering that some of that landscape (the patchwork of rolling green fields, for example) is itself the visible outcome of #technological advance and they're anything but natural. What about the charming old watermills and windmills that are so symbolic of Olde #England and the #Netherlands? The vineyards of #France and #Italy, the olive groves of the #Mediterranean, or the magnificent hills and glens of #Scotland, that were once the ancient #Caledonian forests, subsequently cleared for sheep and cattle grazing. These too symbolise earlier technological advance. Canals, railways, castles, churches, lighthouses and hedgerows are the same. Once upon a time these too may have been considered a blight on the landscape and yet nowadays they are often viewed as part of our cultural heritage, to be preserved and managed for posterity. A sense of perspective is surely required? Take a closer look at the #rural landscape you think is being spoiled.

AND…all of those stories about how the turbines kill birds is just oil-industry propaganda.

It's one of these, isn't it?

Ein Baum aus Stahl statt Holz: In Thüdinghausen (Landkreis Northeim) betreibt Sebastian Harms als erste Privatperson einen Windbaum in Deutschland. 36 Mini-Turbinen erzeugen Strom - ein Projekt zwischen Design, Technik und Energiewende.
