One thing that’s not clear in this Wikipedia page is that this July 9th law also “legalized fusion” (or rather, reclassified fusion as particle accelerators rather than as fission reactors, so now fusion plants fall under a separate, more accessible regulatory framework).

MIT’s Climate Portal:
A 2012 study found that wind projects kill 0.269 birds per gigawatt-hour of electricity produced, compared to 5.18 birds killed per gigawatt-hour of electricity from fossil fuel projects.
I love birds (probably better known as dinos).
Conclusion: Leave it in the ground!

When we climb the ladder of status, our inner arguments get warped and our natural sympathy for others is vanquished. Instead of fretting about the effects of our actions, we just go ahead and act. We deserve what we want. And how dare they resist. Don’t they know who we are?

Throughout this year I’ve devoted substantial attention to WikiLeaks, particularly in the last four weeks as calls for its destruction intensified.
