In comparison with the other issues we have, the bird Windturbine one is a non-issue. However, it gets thrown in the ring over and over again, achieving exactly what the people persuing it want: distraction. It's the same with nuclear, it's the same with “ but we can't store the energy“. A lot of decoys to slow down the process while we already have everything we need to take on the problem. Please people, don't take the bait, focus on implementing the solution.

You're preaching to the choir here

Probably. I still find a lot of people here on Lemmy (and the other fuck you spez platform before) that are very very convinced we need to reroute a substantial amount of our effort into building nuclear reactors as renewables can never ever sustain everything and in general there is no storage.

But you are right in general.
