The science isn't settled
We need to keep doing honest study. Here, a Harvard study finds that wind turbines are worse than the energy they replace.

That is not what I’d have expected, but I’m happy someone is looking at all the options and pros and cons of all these new options.

why can’t we agree that of the available options, nuclear is the answer?

That study was debunked. The warming they misleading referred to is local warming that would occur as warmer air is trapped lower in the atmosphere by the turbines causing warming by a tiny percent in the immediate location of the turbines. They in no way contribute to adding or storing energy in the system which is how climate can be globally affected. Embarrassing for mit, but this kind of isolated bad science happens plenty.

I'm worried abut them slowing down the rotation of the earth as they block the wind.
Wind, Solar, Nuke, Hydro. All can be done, some need to be done extremely well. So let's have a sit in, chain ourselves to a Tesla, and protest something !!

Not too close to a windmill, you’ll get cancer.
