No energy source producing the required amounts to run civilization will be non-disruptive to wildlife and the environment. But perfect is the enemy of good.

Renewable energy sources heavily reduce this factor, make countries more independent from imports (other countries) and slow down the catastrophic effects of increased atmospheric energy due to greenhouse effect of carbon-based energy sources.

Conservatives should be the top number one supporters of renewable energy because of more independence from other governments and better conservation of the environment.

But alas, the only thing they like to preserve is their personal greed.
