CNN is still the trusted US news outlet in the rest of the world.
When it comes to news BBC is great but they are not US.
Yes a few years ago a large group of Americans were fooled by Trump but they are finally starting to see through his lies and bluster, Americans that woke up to Trump can and will start to return to the CNN way of coverage.
There is a reason MAGA tries to shut down this channel.

It sucks not having laws to protect your privacy.
But at least they don't send a picture every half-second, apparently they use a build-in Automated Content Recognition (ACR) technology.
Which to me means they 'only' collect the name of the content.
Makes me wonder how they would name your private recordings of you doing the neighbors wife.

Solar and wind have a max desirable amount. You do not want more than 25% in either of those intermittent sources because then you end up spending more on batteries than you do on power plants and distribution.

What's wrong with spending on batteries? Batteries are exteremly important in providing grid stability and consistency. It's a good way to spend money.

I know Germany employs radar to stop a wind turbine once birds get into the danger zone.
This is certainly not used everywhere but typically there where protected birds live and/or migrate.

Also, the number of bird-strikes is often exaggerated, in the Netherlands in 1932 there was a 32 km (20 miles) dam constructed right in the middle of a bird migration path. The past 20-30 years every week a volunteer walked the length of the dam and counted the number of dead birds washed up on the shore, this has hardly changed now wind turbines have been build in the area.
