Moreover, the health risks that come with breathing in that dirty air are unevenly spread. People of color are 3.6 times more likely to live in counties with multiple failing air pollution grades.

The research shows that to squeeze out the greatest health benefits, wind farms need to intentionally replace coal and gas power plants. And to clean up the most polluted places — particularly those with more residents of color and low-income households — those communities need to be in focus when deploying new renewable energy projects.
“If we can tweak the system a little bit ... let wind power displace some of the more polluting or damaging plants, that could actually lead to an even higher magnitude of the air quality health benefits,” says Minghao Qiu, a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford who led this research while studying at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
This story brilliantly blames wind energy for not being clean in places it is NOT deployed. This is how ALEC and Kock Industries sow doubt about renewables. The headline SHOULD read 'coal and gas continue to kill minorities while affluent people reap the clean benefits of wind.'
When you read the title, you expect to find arguments on how randomly intermittent capacity of renewal energy is useless to meet electricity needs at peak of consumption when there is no wind and no sun (very frequent in the evening) But you find a totally woke bullshit instead!
LMMFAOOOOOO! Lies
