If 100% of US power was wind, turbines would still not be the #1 bird killer.

Can you point out the new hydro plants that we can build?

As a California resident, I'm happy that the state isn't spending extra to buy nuclear.

At least California residents are lucky enough to benefit from vast geothermal resources, which could be used for base load instead of nuclear. Hydropower utilities are mostly peaker plants.
