    Wind Is The Cleanest Safest New Energy

    Wind Energy’s Carbon Footprint

    Vanessa Schipani, March 14, 2018 (FactCheck.org)

    “…Department of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke claimed the ‘carbon footprint on wind [energy] is significant.’ In fact, wind power’s carbon footprint is among the smallest of any energy source…Coal’s carbon footprint is almost 90 times larger…and the footprint of natural gas is more than 40 times larger…Zinke also said wind energy kills ‘as many as 750,000 birds a year.’ This estimate is high, but not impossible. However, oil fields could kill up to 1 million birds a year [and domestic cats kill billions of birds a year]…In 2017, wind energy made up about 6.3 percent of the United States’ total electricity generation…compared with about 30 percent each for coal and natural gas and 20 percent for nuclear energy… Solar energy made up only 1.3 percent…[Life cycle greenhouse gas emissions from solar, wind, and nuclear technologies are considerably lower and less variable than emissions from technologies powered by combustion-based natural gas and coal...” click here for more
