[cobirds] article about birds & bats & renewable energy
I wanted to draw your attention to a High Country News article about the growing body of research on the impact of renewable energy plants on winged creatures. It is fascinating, though lengthy. I've tried to copy the link--but it's long too! The article keywords are "dead birds & bats - renewable energy" by Emma F Merchant - Feb. 14 this year. https://www.hcn.org/articles/wildlife-the-dead-birds-and-bats-that-improve-renewable-energy?utm_source=wcn1_medium=email_campaign=2023-02-17-Newsletter One take-away: It is not going to be as simple as just erecting fewer, bigger turbines. And the collection of carcasses is all over the map in terms of consistency by the wind & solar farm developers. And as always, the scientists trying to address the dearth of research need $$$.
