Yes, even modern coal plants emit pollutants, along with plant-fertilizing carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gases.” Gas plants emit CO2 and water vapor. And yes, wind turbines, solar panels, and vehicle and grid backup batteries have no such emissions – at their point of operation.

But now, they assert, “intensifying climate change” has become a third major factor. (See here, here and here.)   Alarmists even claim climate change affects bird migration and reproduction by disrupting their biological rhythms and schedules. They never mention that wind turbines slaughter

The folllowing is a guest article by Scott W. Tinker. The world faces a defining challenge: how to provide affordable, reliable energy for a growing population while also reducing environmental impacts. Too often, this is framed as a false choice — “fossil fuels” versus “renewables,” economic growth versus environmental stewardship, “dirty” versus “clean.” This binary
