Now researchers are seeing if it can work in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wyoming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wyoming</span></a>. </p><p>By Kylie Mohr, Summer 2024</p><p>"A year ago, a Golden Eagle approaching the Glenrock/Rolling Hills wind farm in Wyoming might have seen a dangerous optical illusion: A turbine’s blades, spinning at more than 150 miles per hour, would appear not as solid objects to be avoided, but as a blur the bird could fly through. Scientists believe this disorienting visual phenomenon, known as motion smear, contributes to the collisions that kill an estimated 140,000 to 679,000 birds per year at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WindFarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WindFarms</span></a> in the United States. </p><p>"The same eagle soaring over the area’s scrubby sagebrush today will see warning signs. Those once indistinct and innocuous-seeming blurs will present clearly as physical masses, signaling to birds that they should steer clear. </p><p>"Such is the hope, anyway, of a study now testing a surprisingly simple tool for making wind farms less hazardous to birds: black paint. This summer, PacifiCorp, which owns the facility, aims to finish painting one blade on each of 36 turbines there. Over the next several years the company and its partners, including the federal government, will keep track of how many eagles and other daytime-flying birds those turbines kill compared to their previous toll and to the remaining 100 or so that have not been painted. Search teams will look for eagle carcasses, while specially trained dogs will sniff out other birds and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bats</span></a>.

A new study has highlighted that the land occupied by golf courses in the 10 countries with the most courses could generate up to 842 GW of solar power and 659 GW of wind power – far exceeding the existing installed capacity in many cases.</p><p>"If the US were to transition entirely to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Renewable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Renewable</span></a> energy by 2035, it would require thousands of square kilometers for onshore wind and even more for solar farms. In theory, the space occupied by US golf courses alone could provide about 20 percent of this capacity, the study concludes.</p><p>"Another finding was that more land is allocated to golf courses than renewable energy production across many countries, including the US and the UK.</p><p>"Maintaining these lush greens comes at a steep environmental cost too – sapping <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a> resources, destroying <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> habitats, and relying heavily on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fertilizers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fertilizers</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pesticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pesticides</span></a>.

The concept of energy justice argues that the benefits and burdens of energy supply and land use should be distributed equitably across society. In this context, the general public could benefit if decision-makers decide to use these exclusive golf courses for renewable energy projects,' the study authors write.</p><p>"Some countries have taken this idea seriously in the past. For instance, Japan has turned some of its disused golf courses, built in the 1980s during a boom of interest in the sport, into fields of solar panels.</p><p>"While the researchers say they’re not proposing that renewable energy companies swoop in to seize the world’s golf courses, they do suggest their project highlights the need for better discussions on land use and energy infrastructure.</p><p>"'Our study does not advocate for the direct conversion of golf courses, but it highlights the vast potential for renewable energy on similarly large and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/underutilized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>underutilized</span></a> areas,' Dr Jann Weinand, lead author of the study and Head of the Integrated Scenarios department at the Institute Jülich Systems Analysis at Forschungszentrum Jülich, said in a statement.</p><p>"'In light of the ongoing debates about land use for renewables, it is crucial to consider how we allocate land overall – especially when significant space is dedicated to activities that benefit only a limited segment of the population,' added Dr Weinand.</p><p>"The study is published in the journal Environmental Research Communications."</p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/should-golf-courses-be-converted-into-solar-or-wind-farms/ar-AA1zL3qG" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">msn.com/en-us/weather/topstori</span><span class="invisible">es/should-golf-courses-be-converted-into-solar-or-wind-farms/ar-AA1zL3qG</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Degrowth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EatTheRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EatTheRich</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenewablesNow</span></a></p>

The researchers used the OpenStreetMap database to locate 38,400 golf courses in the world, of which 80% are located in the 10 countries with the most courses.</p><p>"The United States tops the list, with more than 16,000 golf courses, followed by the United Kingdom (around 3,100) and Japan (around 2,700). Canada, Australia, Germany, South Korea, France, China and Sweden round out the top 10 countries.</p><p>"The research team calculated that the renewable energy potential of the land taken up by golf courses and found that these 10 countries could install between 281 GW and 842 GW of utility-scale solar on 25% to 75% of the golf courses’ land area.</p><p>"The research paper said the 75% figure exceeds the 646 GW of cumulative solar capacity currently installed in these 10 countries. In comparison, the 10 countries could install between 174 GW and 659 GW of onshore wind across the golf course areas, depending on spacing.</p><p>"The researchers said that golf courses typically require large amounts of water and chemical treatments, while renewable energy installations offer a sustainable land use option. They said utility-scale solar farms require approximately 0.01 square km of land per megawatt, while wind farms require around 0.12 square km of land per megawatt.</p><p>"The researchers said their findings 'underscore the untapped potential of rethinking land use priorities to accelerate the transition to renewable energy.'</p><p>"The lead author of the study, Jann Weinand of German research institute Forschungszentrum Jülich, emphasized that the study is not advocating for the direct conversion of golf courses, but rather aims to highlight the vast renewables potential of similarly large and underutilized areas.</p><p>"'In light of the ongoing debates about land use for renewables, it is crucial to consider how we allocate land overall – especially when significant space is dedicated to activities that benefit only a limited segment of the population,' added Weinand."</p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/02/24/global-golf-courses-take-up-more-land-than-solar-wind-plants/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pv-magazine.com/2025/02/24/glo</span><span class="invisible">bal-golf-courses-take-up-more-land-than-solar-wind-plants/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Windfarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windfarms</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Solarfarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solarfarms</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GolfCourses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GolfCourses</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a></p>
