Violet's Vegan Comics 
Sadly, when we rush to embrace a “green technology” without saying “Slow down, let’s see what are the pros and cons of this stuff” we often fall victim to The Law of Unintended Consequences, and the “cure” can be worse than the “disease”! Solar is also an example of how we need to look before we leap. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/02/13/the-2-2-billion-bird-scorching-solar-project-at-californias-ivanpah-plant/ So sad. 😦

You are so right. This is of course the inspiration for this story and I have found out so much more very worrying stuff in my research for it. Thanks for the extra info.

Yeah, I used to support wind turbines. Now I realize that smaller, more old-fashioned WINDMILLS would still be effective and less damaging. Here are some more sad concerns: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/11/15/study-shows-wind-turbines-killed-600000-bats-last-year/
Yet, there are people working hard to solve this problem (wish turbines could have been introduced in a Beta form to judge their effects). You will like these 3. The last one is an interesting concept, but I would hesitate to shout hurrah until they can honestly tell me ALL the potential hidden issues (vibration = sound, but even if we can’t hear it doesn’t mean it’s not there and doesn’t have an effect). Perhaps if it was designed to look and behave like leaves…?

Thank you so much for all this information, that is really encouraging and so good to learn. You’re right of course, lesson learned, there needs to be lots more testing to ensure there are not unintended negative consequences. In the meantime, we could do our best to use much less electricity 🙂

I love watching birds eat and drink at my roof. My mom spreads some grains and puts some water for them everyday.
Mr. Bhakta looks like an Indian surname.
Have a lovely weekend.
