... The following day, Stevenson laid out his case in an expansive and mostly empty ballroom. It’s too expensive, he argued from a lectern, and the United States was not effectively assessing its environmental impact. He suggested a plan to get the public to care about this issue: putting whales front and center.
Stevenson stopped short of blaming wind companies for the spate of whale carcasses that had washed up on New Jersey and New York beaches just weeks prior. He agreed with the scientific evidence that “vessel strikes” — not wind development — were the biggest threat in that region. Still, the potential for harm to whales could be a powerful tool in federal court, he speculated, as well as in the court of public opinion.

This summer I walked into a large windmill farm to count all the dead birds with my daughter. Across 20 mills, we counted an average of zero dead birds.

This tells me nothing man. There could have been 10,000 dead birds at one plant, and they just had negative 1000 dead birds at 10 pthers

Several years ago the UK had their first day of net-zero emissions, in large part because of huge offshore wind capacity in the North Sea
More and more we heard about these days here and there where demand was lowish and wind was highish and the UK was a net energy exporter.
Now it's routine enough it's no longer news.
By all means though, please keep clawing rocks and sludge from the guts of the earth to burn for power because you associate wanton destructiveness and a lack of empathy with masculinity
This has nothing to do with masculinity and everything to do with money.
Well, kinda
