I have long wondered about the "Coal" item in the energy sources. After a little research, I found out that it was a single cogeneration plant in Trona where coal was burned to produce steam as part of a chemical process to refine minerals from Searles Lake. The surplus heat from the process was used to cogenerate up to 108 MW. According to some sources, the use of coal there was discontinued about 10 years ago.
 
I'm all in favor of getting rid of cats.

Something else that kills a lot of birds is this California solar project:


It apparently incinerates birds mid-flight. Excuse my morbid curiosity, but it would be kind of cool to see this happen in real time. Oh there's a bird, "poof".
Is ScienceAlert a reputable site?


The site also has come under criticism for issues related to sensationalism, hyperbole, misleading or naive headlines, and even sexism to attract readers.
 
My cat (first my son's girlfriend's cat, then my cat, then my daughter's cat) Paco used to bring in live birds and lizard tails, and once a live baby rabbit. We should have kept the rabbit.

At least two birds died flying into our big glass windows, and a largish bird was liquified when it flew up from the median into the front of my VW Bug on the Interstate in Texas (had to pull over and clean the bird guts off the windshield).
Our large front window at our Arizona house seems to be a bird magnet. Some died some were just knocked out for a few minutes. We had to hang a shade off the porch cover.

House in AZ and San Diego must be nice. How many other houses do you have Mr. Jones? You now need to make a $200K a year to buy a house in OC.

I can't vouch for its reputation, but there are plenty of reputable sources that have reported this, its actually fairly well known.

Like this?

You know the dimwit twins' rule. If it wasn't on CNN, it didn't happen.

I have a plan for the climate "crisis". All the advocates of climate change should voluntarily sacrifice themselves - not by fire, of course. That will have a positive impact on carbon release going forward with the same directional effect on worldwide economic productivity that occurred with Twitter productivity when Musk fired 90% of the employees - production will go up. It's amazing how much more gets done when whining, sniveling do-nothings are removed from the equation. Sadly, overall climate effect will be negligible given that China's gonna China while the climate geniuses in the US brainstorm on how to stop cows from farting.

PS - Don't forget to wear your mask and get your 17th Covid booster.
PPS - Ukraine is going to win, just send more money!

It's not cow farts that are the problem. It's cow belches.

Ukraine is all about Democracy, so Vlad decided to stay past his date and declared Martial Law. His wifey was in New York and spent $1.1 Million for few days of shopping.

Nothing lasts forever. One day this planet and all our (human races) trivial bs will be nothing but cosmic dust. And if there is something else beyond human form it’s the indigenous peoples that coexisted with the planet that deserve to move on, to be resurrected, to be reincarnated. NOT the assholes that pumped chemicals into the environment then felt by going to some religious gathering or holding up a book they were “saved” from any accountability here or for eternity.

Yeah maybe, but as I often post links that the source is immediately attacked, not the information just the messenger, I couldn’t resist.

I like this Husker Du. I live among the Kaqchikel people. My wife's Grandma is from these amazing humans. Talk about loving and happy people. Maya is making a big come back. Remember I told you and espola that the new earth will all be about how the first will now be last and the last will now be first.

My advice to Husker Du and the rest of us is to go somewhere quiet and listen to this song. Mama Earth is taking back what was taken from her. Close your eyes and let God open them. You will begin to see what you need to see. The world is waking up and so is Husker Du. I'm proud of you for seeing the truth finally.

CNN is reliable compared to most of the sources they post.

I'm not opposed to alternative energy sources as a supplement, but they just don't have the reliability or the efficiency to be primary sources of energy. Wind power is terribly inefficient, they only work in a narrow band of wind speeds and take a tremendous amount of petroleum to operate. The wind doesn't lubricate the gears. Alternative energy brings a whole other host of environmental impacts with it.

I will repeat it for the hundredth time, no conversation of green energy is serious without the inclusion of nuclear energy as the primary producer.

Everything all at once isn’t a possibility, never was. Things take time to develop. The “I thought renewables would solve all our problems all at once, instantly, without any issues? Since it hasn’t let’s not try that anymore and go back to the status quo!” is simply caveman thinking once again.

There certainly is a lot of hypocrisy in organized religion and not just limited to this issue.

On the bright side we've come a long way in the US cleaning up our air and water since the early 70's. I think that should continue to be our focus because trying to change the climate is a fools errand.
