>How many animals get killed by wind farms roughly? Half a million a year in the US. Maybe. https://abcbirds.org/blog21/wind-turbine-mortality/ https://abcbirds.org/blog21/wind-turbine-mortality/

  For complete context, that's out of 7.2 billion birds in the US [0]. So 7 per 100k per year. [0] https://www.denverpost.com/2019/09/20/bird-population-decrease-third-fewer/ https://www.denverpost.com/2019/09/20/bird-population-decrea...

>> nuclear can be built anywhere >Like Fukushima? How do you handle lack of cooling water during droughts (see France 2022)? Fukushima had problems that were known before the tsunami, that TEPCO failed to address. Likewise, EDF has (and still had) power-delivery in France during the summer of 2022; "summer" being an event that has happened with some regularity in southern Europe for some time.

  > How do you handle lack of cooling water during droughts (see France 2022)? As far as I know, it was not lack of cooling water, but water retuning back to river being too hot, because that specific French design does not have cooling towers and discharges water back to river.
