Comments on: Nonsense and Rumors About Wind Power/2024/10/12/nonsense-and-rumors-about-wind-power/The goal of this blog is to create a long list of facts that are important, not trivia, and that are known to be true yet are either disputed by large segments of the public or highly surprising or misunderstood by many.Sun, 02 Feb 2025 06:28:35 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.com/By: thomasstigwikman/2024/10/12/nonsense-and-rumors-about-wind-power/comment-page-1/#comment-2240Mon, 20 Jan 2025 04:26:20 +0000/?p=701#comment-2240In reply to World Questioner.

In response to “What about hydroelectric power? Is hydroelectric power a major cause of fish death? Is hydroelectric power bad for the aquatic ecosystem?”

Sweden, where I originally am from uses a lot of hydro power, 45%. It also has a very low carbon footprint. Regarding the rest of what you bring up, I have to research it before I say anything.

I have set the maximum of nested comments to four that’s why it gets a bit funny. I have to change that.

Personally, I am in favor of nuclear power because of its very low carbon footprint, but it is a bit complicated. Yes, I might write a super fact related to nuclear power. It is also a misunderstood energy source.

You are correct. Trump said this (and that wind turbines kill whales) but very few people believed this statement. That is why I am not calling this post a super fact. It is just a list of myths, some of them silly, like the cancer one.

It has the lowest carbon footprint of all forms of power generation, beating wind power, solar power, and yes, fossil fuels. Right?
Are you going to write a Super Fact related to nuclear power?

But it makes some claims that you already addressed. But I posted a comment on that video linking to this post of yours.

Sound cannot cause cancer, can it? Only certain reactive chemicals do, along with high-energy electromagnetic radiation, and alpha and beta particles from radioactive decay, not to mention neutron bombardment.

Yes I am going address claims about other energy sources as well.

You’ve addressed claims about wind power. THe next thing you should address is claims about solar power.
