Aah a True Bird Lover. Wants to protect birds from windmills. Doesn't care how many bird habitats oil drilling destroys. Hasn't seen any pictures of oil coated birds from the Exxon Valdez or the Deepwater Horizon.

Does this mean you support banning plastic straws too? All plastics are essentially unrecyclable.

By all means. If it can be done as cheaply as wind and solar.

You don't know me, but yes birds are a passion of mine.

I don't particularly like drilling oils and we should transition off.

Does that justify the damage windmills do? No.

I support as little waste as possible. Everything adds up. Especially giant windmills.

Nuclear is cheap and safe, it's the damn bureaucracy that's expensive.

Let's get real, stop putting up trash, and start boiling water.

New Nuclear is by far the most expensive way to generate power today. It gets worse everyday.
