Environment & Energy

I don't know that having cameras would help anything. There is no baseline although I would imagine one could declare some other region suitably far away a control region.

Operationally there is likely to be other damage of course, leaking lubricants, leachates. The biggest one to my mind is the shedding of blade coatings, a well known phenomenon that accounts for the performance degradation that wind turbines display over their lifetimes, which on average, if one followed the Danish master register of wind turbines, is
less than 20 years. The Danish Energy Agency no longer provides this register probably because it showed just how crappy the wind industry, a major Danish industry, is.

I'm generally opposed to putting every square meter of the planet's surface, including the sea surface - or the sea floor that advocates of so called "renewable energy" want to mine for minerals to support their junk - to some kind of economic use to make money for this person or that person in the 1%.. I feel similarly about aquaculture.

My private battle is a losing one however.

From my perspective history will not forgive us nor should it.
