* experience in Ontario has been that these "green" energy projects are
often put in by ecologically insensitive firms, prompting the new
provincial motto of Ontario "green is black."
http://www.saveostranderpoint.org/#sthash.LufTSMYD.dpbs is a tale of a
wind farm in an "important bird area" where the Ministry of the
Environment joined the "proponent's" appeal of a decision that the
project posed an unacceptable risk to a SAR, and the whole basis of the
Ontario Rivers Alliance http://www.ontarioriversalliance.ca/ was "green
is black" mesoscale hydro projects that were to be blotted all across
the norther part of the province -

- see my comments. Another instance of this single-purpose insensitivity
is the solar farms that are put in with no concern for Species at Risk
that might be encouraged to live among the panels.
Just as is the case with massive certified-organic agriculture, if we're
going to have green infrastructure it must be green all the way down -
which will require substantial re-education of the industrial/financial
sorts - it's not enough that politicians respond to the need to make
alternative sources of energy useable - these installations must be
installed with ecological sensitivity to the local sites, and in
consultation with the local Human population.
