I'm not seeing much evidence that many people are giving much consideration to whether bad things can happen at a global scale from installing "too much" solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, or marine energy, or "too much" hydrogen energy. Yes, they do come at the problem of bioenergy along with .
We are in a bad spot here on this planet because there was not enough consideration given to the precautionary principle when it came to fossil fuel energy. Now we are seeing that there are issues with commitment (or over-commitment) to fossil fuels that threaten all life on Earth.
We then turn to solar, wind, etc., but again, without really doing the fully right thing of simultaneously understanding precautionary principle considerations as applied to those answers.

Things are not as bad as they seem for wind power, Boris Johnson has a cunning scheme for the UK once all the windmills are installed. If the climate starts to heat up he will reverse the windmill connections to the national grid and run them backwords so they act as propellers. They will then be used to drive the UK farther north into a cooler latitude.

Anything to deny the core problem - too many of the prime invasive species, us. All these technological measures are just stop gap attempts and denying the inevitable. If we don't stop looking to 'magic' pills we will be gone.
