2025-11-11 Fossil Fuels Kill 20 Times More Birds Than Wind Turbines
“”Solar panels can’t be recycled”” That’s not true, 95% of solar panels are recycled because they are too valuable to put in a landfill. “”Offshore wind farms harm whales”” That’s not true. Seismic blasting for gas and oil does far more damage to marine life. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0sNVGpwbB9mH4DS9qxKhS6bBH2UQPUC8hiLMpnxkD9XYJP49kKeM4WTCno7ju5GjEl&id=100077291773871&post_id=100077291773871_pfbid0sNVGpwbB9mH4DS9qxKhS6bBH2UQPUC8hiLMpnxkD9XYJP49kKeM4WTCno7ju5GjEl&mibextid=Nif5oz
