It's interesting how HN have quite a bit of right wing extremist comment sprinkle here and there, I always thought it was a rare occurrence. I also think you simplifying nuclear power. You still need to store the waste and it something quite a few people dislike. And no body is investing in Thorium R&D, at least not in USA. > aquatic life and birds more There are several country side plastic patches in the ocean which is cause cause of oil products that cannot biodegrade in a reasonable time. The global warming cause by oil which in turn cause bleaching, killing aquatic life, causing far more damage than whatever you think wind turbines are causing. Airplane and free roaming cats kill more birds than wind turbines. I know turbines do kill birds but they can move it away from migration paths.

> right wing extremist Right wing of where exactly? I am not American but I am assuming you're talking about the US. In that case, you should know that the clean tech industry in the US started and thrived during Bush presidency. The mainstream American right wingers are no less brainwashed than the American left wingers when it comes to renewables and climate change. Climate change deniers are a minority that even Trump disassociates himself from because he knows majority of the right would hate him for it. >And no body is investing in Thorium R&D, at least not in USA. People would invest in it if they thought it would work. It's like Solar and Wind, which are complete waste of money, except it is not "renewable" and hence not even cool. >I know turbines do kill birds but they can move it away from migration paths. As I already said, I know that it is okay as long as it fits the narrative.

How plausible is it to put protective nets around wind turbines, and cats? Or requiring reflective streamers attached to turbine blades, and cats?
