Wind turbines, a renewable energy source, kill bats and birds. We need to design mechanisms on these wind turbines which repel and deter bats and birds to save them from premature and painful deaths. We need less anthropocentrism in the manufacture, production and design of renewable energy technologies. I also propose a probable needed reduction in human population to limit and reduce the animal habitat destruction concomitant with mining for the precious metals and materials needed for renewable energy technology manufacture and installation. Eradicating planned obsolescence and/or cost-cutting in manufacture of green energy technologies, through high quality controls, is a must. Roadkill is another pressing issue; perhaps the installation of electronic mechanisms to deter animals from being in close proximity with vehicles could be very much possible, and definitely preferable.
I recently viewed a documentary called Bright Green Lies, which delivered some interesting and chilling analysis on the very real dark side of so-called green energy generation technologies. Whilst I remain a kind of technocratic green libertarian ‘anarcho'(small state)-private property ‘communist’ (see The Venus Project’s Resource Based Economy: https://thevenusproject.com/ for some social-technocratic ideas), there are contradictions between ecology and (even a minimalist form of) industrialism, when considering the wellbeing of all of sentient life on earth, which need careful redress and ongoing sustained political and ethical attention and transformation.
I believe industrial civilisation is salvageable if we drastically reduce human population and share wealth much more equitably, greening our activities as well as possible, in an ongoing and ever-sophisticated measure.
To grapple with the extent, scope, gravity and urgency of the problem, please understand the standpoint of ‘Bright Green Lies’ activists, who pose some really tough questions. You can rent or purchase the documentary at the links below:
