Because wind farms don't stop all killing of birds they shouldn't be used?That's a different topic, and they are all problems that need to be resolved. Just don't sell utopia. Wind farms are a big problem for birds.

Because it's a waste of money, Go to Palm Springs.. almost half are broke because it's too expensive to repair. They've become eye sores and they build more that they will never fix.Why the F is Apple not doing this in California?!?
I agree. My parents live in Palm Desert and I drive south down I10 and there are a whole bunch of them after passing HWY 111. Most of them are not moving or laying down being repaired. What seemed like a good idea over a decade ago is merely a waste of money and land. Sort of like California currently building a solar farm that will take up 26 square miles while only powering 100k homes. A Nuclear plant in the same area would take up less than half of the land and power 1.3 mil homes.
No, the state capital said they were too expensive to repair, No assumptions.They aren’t running because the production capacity isn’t needed at that moment. Renewables (in the US at least) are still typically only a supplementary power source. Energy distribution isn’t as simple as you’re assuming it to be. What you should be asking is: why aren’t there running? 9 times out of 10 there’s an answer a lot different than your assumption.
The new HQ is 100% renewable energy. Their panels could be giving back to the grid as well. Either way it is a start in state that has a lot of renewable energy solutions going on already.Why the F is Apple not doing this in California?!?

This is for the planet though. You have to put the solutions in areas that impact the planet the most.i wished they invested 300m in the U.S.
People thinking they're saving the environment driving electric vehicles, meanwhile adding 4800KW a day to coal-fired emissions are just plain stupid.

They are also a blight. There is a stretch of them between Chicago and Indianapolis and it's a stain on the countryside.
Just more boondoggles. If climate change is such an existential crisis, truly, then Apple should start investing in nuclear plants and petitioning the Indians and the Chinese to adjust their manufacturing measures. I mean, if we were in TRULY desperate times, like 12 years until fire and brimstone, we would do these things because survival depends on it. Right?
Very true. Nuclear poses no high risks both short and long term and has a 100% safety track record. Long term storage of nuclear waste has been solved. Radiation poses no risk to people and animals. I’m shocked Apple didn’t decide to invest in nuclear instead.

That's all a bit hyperbolic, no?
No form of energy production has a 100% safety record. There's close to 450 active nuclear plants in the world today, and most don't have accidents. And if we're talking Three Mile Island-Chernobyl-Fukushima style accidents (e.g. meltdowns), those are comparatively rare. Nuclear got a bad rap due to those events, but it continues to be one of the best forms of energy production despite the radioactive waste (which can be dealt with in an environmentally responsible way).
Too many love to fantasize of wind when considering clean energy -- without taking the added step of logic.

Apple is okay killing birds in other parts of the World, but not in their back yard? Hmmmm. Okay.
Not wind farms, they are slaughtering birds to an unprecedented level.
Yes, Apple and other investors are just totally void of logic and have done no analysis on the topic. YOU have it all figured out though.
I’m just here waiting for the inevitable “climate change is a hoax”, Greta sideswipes and “Apple show stick to making a better X Y or Z” comments.
