A 20-turbine wind farm on Maui asked how to keep Hawaiian geese away, and the state suggested airport-style dogs while pheromones remain on the list of ideas
1+ hour, 43+ min ago (538+ words) A wind farm on Maui is addressing risks to native wildlife using innovative deterrents. Globally, island nations are rapidly expanding wind power capacity to meet rising clean energy demands. Hawaiian wildlife authorities are trying to minimize fatal interactions by deploying…...
An Ohio wind farm had to shut down every time bats approached, so it tried scaring them away with ultrasound before discovering one species reacted very differently
6+ day, 7+ hour ago (549+ words) Among all collision mitigation strategies at a wind farm in Ohio, one delivered the most unexpected result. The longest challenge that turbines worldwide have endured is blade collisions with flying species. Bats are among those with the highest mortality rates…...
Tracked across 2 Swedish wind farms in a central pine forest, 13 GPS-tagged birds revealed what turbines do to a creature that almost never leaves the ground
1+ week, 5+ day ago (736+ words) A bird the size of a small turkey stood in the middle of a central Swedish pine forest and did something researchers had never measured so precisely before. It simply stopped moving. No storm rolling in. Nothing visible in the…...
Scattered across 10,000 desert acres, 19 evicted owls were driven 50 miles and released beside active solar panels, and the artificial burrows installed in the sand became the most productive relocation site a conservation crew had ever attempted
2+ week, 1+ day ago (789+ words) Something was living in the gap between the solar panels. Not a glitch in the monitoring data, not a maintenance problem. Something small, barely nine inches tall, with yellow eyes the color of desert marigolds, peering out of a concrete…...
Researchers in the Gulf of California designed an ocean plan that pays fishermen while depleted reefs bring back fish, sharks, and sea turtles
3+ week, 5+ hour ago (831+ words) Marine conservation has long forced coastal towns into a tough spot. Give up your fishing grounds today. Then, wait decades for the ocean to heal. For families living along depleted coasts, that deal is hard to swallow. Kids need food…...
In Minnesota, one wind turbine stopped producing only electricity and started making something else using nothing but wind, water, and the air around it
3+ week, 4+ day ago (592+ words) A Minnesotan wind turbine shows that wind energy can produce more than just electricity. Various global industries are racing to decarbonize their operations, but many have historically struggled to do so. The agricultural sector is among those actively working toward…...
Coal and uranium mining are moving into nearly 3 million acres surrounding two of America’s most breathtaking cycling routes
3+ week, 5+ day ago (923+ words) For years, two wild dirt loops in Utah have drawn adventurous riders from all across the country. The Cedar Mesa Loop and the Grand Staircase Loop offer something rare. You get rugged red rock, silence, and an endless horizon. Outdoor…...
At the center of the world, engineers are quietly rewiring how a nation powers itself without silencing the birds that cross its skies twice a year
1+ mon, 3+ day ago (885+ words) Most people have seen it without really seeing it. A bird on a wire, still against the sky. It looks completely unremarkable. But from above, the view changes entirely. Picture a shorebird navigating a twice-yearly passage across Ecuador’s Pacific coast....
In the Amazon, a hydroelectric dam created ‘green islands,’ but 26 years later, most of the animals had disappeared, including mammals, large birds, and turtles
1+ mon, 6+ day ago (570+ words) Credits: Energies Media Internal edition A hydroelectric dam in the Amazon created isolated green islands, causing animal populations to decline. Now, as global demand for renewable energy rises, an unprecedented growth in dam construction has been triggered. A recent study…...
California scientists have discovered how to turn floating solar panels into ‘artificial islands’ for egrets—and even black-crowned night herons
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (545+ words) California’s floating solar panels are becoming “artificial islands” for waterbirds, such as herons and egrets. Fertile land for large-scale solar arrays is becoming scarcer and sparking conflict with other sectors. As a result, developers are increasingly turning to bodies of…...
