Wind Turbine Failures Becoming More Frequent, Wind Power Costs Rise as Wildlife Affected Negatively
Wind turbines across the United States have been failing more frequently in recent times, triggering concerns about additional costs resulting from such failures as well as their impact on wind power projects. Offshore wind farms, deployed in the name of e...

WIND TUNNELS
Five years ago—in 2014—Yahoo! News reported that wind turbines are responsible for killing over 573,000 birds annually. Bird scientist Shawn Smallwood testified that one large solar farm alone—the Ivanpah solar panel project in California—likely kills 28,380 birds annually.
The same executives jetting around the world and residing in mansions want to send the rest of us back to the caveman era.
As birds die and billionaires binge, poor people pay higher prices—and face energy shortages thanks to the Democrat push for “clean” energy.

Point of information. Ivanpah is mirrors not solar panels. That is why the birds get frizzled. Oh, and it uses gas to get warmed up in the morning. Would you believe it, it goes cold over night? Who knew?
I once did a calculation based on Ivanpah to see how many such sites it would take to replace the UK's biggest power station. My calculations showed that it would take about 400 square miles of mirrors. I am not sure how we could fit the number required into the UK.
