"the evidence suggests that, this century at least, renewables pose a far greater threat to wildlife than climate change"

Wind farms vs wildlife » The Spectator

Wind farms are devastating populations of rare birds and bats across the world, driving some to the point of extinction. Most environmentalists just don’t want to know. Because they’re so desperate to believe in renewable energy, they’re in a state of denial. But the evidence suggests that, this century at least, renewables pose a far greater threat to wildlife than climate change.
