How many lifeforms have been killed by deep water oil and gas drilling, setting aside even the accidents?
How many more lifeforms will become extinct if we keep burning fossil fuels at the current rate?
What other noncarbon options involve less risk? Nuclear? (LOL) Solar? There is plenty of resistance to how solar arrays will destroy habitats too.
Is it too horrific a compromise and too hypocritical a decision to build a wind farm rather than retain the status quo?
I'm speaking to the “harm to wildlife and habitats” people here. We are in the position of someone who knows it would be better to perform a new lifesaving operation. But the risks of the operation are better known than the risks of doing nothing, which largely went unnoticed until recently. On balance it would be best to do the operation.
