Now more than ever, we urgently need to switch to renewables.

This is about more than saving the planet; it's about peace and stability - renewables are cheaper and provide greater energy security.

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

@markwyner @greenpeace these numbers all seem implausibly high. all of them.

@lritter

I guess you’re welcome to disagree with sourced research data. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@greenpeace

@markwyner @greenpeace just relating a feeling. maybe it's because i have no true sense of the scale of the us.
@markwyner @greenpeace so, recorded car deaths divided by square kilometers suggests ~6 birds hit by car per km² over a year. alright that seems plausible.

@lritter

Nice. That’s great math. Also, I want to apologize for my reply to you. It sounded mean, which wasn’t my intention. That’s what I get for responding while gaming. Anyway, I’m sorry for my snarky tone.

@markwyner it's fine, i get it. we're all micro-PTSD'd from the past 10 years of social media experience. i keep forgetting this ;) i should have qualified my statement better.
@lritter @markwyner loved the interaction there. Thanks for making the world a better place :)
