This is some lousy propaganda and demagoguery for an elite university! Appalling!
So because of alleged extreme weather and habitat shrinkage, we should ignore that wind turbines kill hundreds of thousands of birds per year (in the US alone or per wind turbines farm?) And what about the many killed bats and the millions of insects?:
"... Others have some factual basis but are commonly repeated without necessary context: for example, the fact that wind turbines kill 250,000 birds per year is often cited without the context that millions more are threatened by extreme weather, shrinking habitats, and other effects of climate change. ..."
Fact is that wind energy and solar energy are extremely unreliable and intermittent (e.g. the sun does not shine at night or ask our wind milling ancestors). Fact is that wind and solar power are often and have to be backed up by fossil fuel power plants:
"... Similarly, solar and wind power are often derided as hopelessly unreliable despite rapid advances in battery storage that may soon enable them to function without fossil-fuel backup. ..."
