Lunar Graphene Chinese scientists have made an unusual discovery while analyzing the sample Chang'e-5 collected from the Moon's surface in December 2020. They found naturally occurring "few-layer graphene" for the first time, as state-run news agency Global Times reports, which could have major implications for our plans to make use of local resources once on […]
Does something that’s privately owned automatically make it a bad thing?
I think so.
But I could have been wrong re: Goldwind and it seems it is majority owned by companies linked to the CPC.
Let me revise my argument: wind turbines in deserts where there isn’t much life aren’t a big deal and are a good renewable resource (still inferior to nuclear, though); but wind turbines installed on sea are objectively bad and they negatively impact marine life and the marine environment.
Do you have any articles about wind turbines disturbing marine life? It makes sense on paper and I’m skeptical, but I’m very willing to read any articles you have. I have the others you linked me open in other tabs.
Not a lot of research has been done on the topic, it seems. Offshore windfarms have hundreds, if not thousands of turbines, constructing them involves a lot of dredging, pouring concrete, and so on. To be honest, I don’t trust private companies not to cheap out on environmental damage mitigation, because they always do.
