Which evil is more acceptable?
Oil spills or forest fires attributed to electrical powerlines?
That's known as a False Dichotomy - it's not a choice between forest fires and oil spills.
If a forest fire is caused by electric transmission lines, then it is not an act of nature. PG&E has caused more fires than Carters has pills. The need for building more transmission lines will increase exponentially as BEV ownership increases. Ergo, more fires.
Windmills kill bird and requires a huge landmass (somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 of USA) to provide the power this nation needs.
Solar has a similar problem, and would require about 25% of USA's land to provide the power needed.
But the power generated from current and alternative power still needs to go from here....to there. And its a fact, fires caused by electrical transmission result in more damage ($) than oil spills.
