Covering too much land in solar panels could have dire long-term effects that we don't even know. Sucking too much energy out of the air with windmills could too. All energy sources have risks.
- brazzy 3y agoWe absolutely have seen worst case failures for everything except perhaps dam failures. Your solar and windmill speculations are completely implausible, relying on nebulous things "we don't know". But we know exactly how badly nuclear reactors can fail, we know exactly how widely nuclear contamination can spread, and we know exactly what it can do to people. The results if those things happened on a large scale in a densely populated area are not speculative at all.
