Now researchers are seeing if it can work in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wyoming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wyoming</span></a>. </p><p>By Kylie Mohr, Summer 2024</p><p>"A year ago, a Golden Eagle approaching the Glenrock/Rolling Hills wind farm in Wyoming might have seen a dangerous optical illusion: A turbine’s blades, spinning at more than 150 miles per hour, would appear not as solid objects to be avoided, but as a blur the bird could fly through. Scientists believe this disorienting visual phenomenon, known as motion smear, contributes to the collisions that kill an estimated 140,000 to 679,000 birds per year at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WindFarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WindFarms</span></a> in the United States. </p><p>"The same eagle soaring over the area’s scrubby sagebrush today will see warning signs. Those once indistinct and innocuous-seeming blurs will present clearly as physical masses, signaling to birds that they should steer clear. </p><p>"Such is the hope, anyway, of a study now testing a surprisingly simple tool for making wind farms less hazardous to birds: black paint. This summer, PacifiCorp, which owns the facility, aims to finish painting one blade on each of 36 turbines there. Over the next several years the company and its partners, including the federal government, will keep track of how many eagles and other daytime-flying birds those turbines kill compared to their previous toll and to the remaining 100 or so that have not been painted. Search teams will look for eagle carcasses, while specially trained dogs will sniff out other birds and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bats</span></a>. 'We’re trying to have as little impact as possible while also trying to provide electricity to customers,' says Jona Whitesides, a spokesperson for PacifiCorp."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.audubon.org/magazine/surprisingly-simple-solution-protect-birds-wind-turbines-gets-its-biggest-test-yet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">audubon.org/magazine/surprisin</span><span class="invisible">gly-simple-solution-protect-birds-wind-turbines-gets-its-biggest-test-yet</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenewablesNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectWildlife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FlyingWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FlyingWildlife</span></a></p>

However, a new study shows that something as frivolous as golf courses use up more land globally than solar or wind energy. Golf courses, which often serve a small number of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AffluentPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AffluentPeople</span></a>, are also terrible for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environment</span></a> and use up a lot of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a> and resources.</p><p>Competition for space</p><p>"The lush greenery you see on golf courses is a well-maintained lie. Golf courses use enormous amounts of water — sometimes in regions already facing shortages. Maintaining that flawless grass also means heavy reliance on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fertilizers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fertilizers</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pesticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pesticides</span></a>, which seep into local waterways, harming# wildlife and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/polluting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>polluting</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystems</span></a>. To make it even worse, golf courses are apparently competing with renewable energy for space.</p><p>"Every acre we allocate to one use is an acre less for another. Currently, more than 38,400 golf courses span the globe, occupying vast stretches of valuable land. Surprisingly, researchers from Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich found that countries (especially richer countries like the US, the UK, and Canada) dedicate far more land to golf courses than to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarFarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarFarms</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WindTurbines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WindTurbines</span></a>.</p><p>"Let’s put this into perspective. If you take the golf courses in just the top ten golfing countries and convert them into renewable energy, you’d get an extra 842 gigawatts (GW) of solar or 659 GW of wind capacity. And to put that into perspective, that’s more than the entire quantity of renewable energy these countries produce and are forecast to have for a few years.</p><p>Replacing golf courses with something more useful isn’t a new idea, it’s already happening in some areas. In Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture, an entire golf course now hosts 260,000 solar panels, generating 125 gigawatt-hours annually. Meanwhile, in South Korea, 'screen golf,' indoor simulated golfing experiences, provide a popular, space-efficient alternative to traditional courses."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/general/golf-courses-use-more-land-globally-than-solar-or-wind-energy/ar-AA1zHvIE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">msn.com/en-us/politics/general</span><span class="invisible">/golf-courses-use-more-land-globally-than-solar-or-wind-energy/ar-AA1zHvIE</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Renewables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Renewables</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenewablesNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GolfCourses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GolfCourses</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rewilding</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WindTurbines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WindTurbines</span></a></p>
