Renewable Energy Prices Hit Record Lows
Forbes - Jan 21, 2020

But it comes at a price ...
"Altamont Pass: Controversial wind turbine company blamed for bird
deaths shutting down "
"Alameda County surveys have estimated annual bird deaths at about
4,500, and some biologists have speculated that the number could be
closer to 10,000."

The turbines are back -- a more modern design, but still killing
birds. Oh, but solar is so much better. Not necessarily.
"This Mojave Desert solar plant kills 6,000 birds a year. Here�s why
that won�t change any time soon"

There are modern nuclear designs that could safely and reliably
produce vast amounts of electricity, but the Left will never permit
that.
"We can save the planet from climate change and have all the power we
need at affordable prices. But just as the greens are against clean
natural gas and fracking, they also oppose nuclear power.
The radical environmentalists are insisting that the only energy
alternative that will save the planet is wind and solar power � the
two options guaranteed to most decelerate modern industrialization and
economic progress across the globe.
Perhaps that is what the far left really wants: to force mankind to
slow down growth and human advancement. If that is their real agenda,
then forcing businesses and families to use inferior and expensive
energy is a smart strategy."
