Vattenfall said the positive results confirm bigger potential for co-existence between nature and wind farms. The study was carried out for Vattenfall Read more

The true environmental and social cost of intermittent wind and solar is simply staggering. Millions of solar panels are already being dumped in landfill, and millions of nonrecyclable wind turbine blades are joining them; altogether creating a toxic legacy the generation who blindly championed so-called ‘green’ energy.
