the faster the change the bigger the impact --- there were also big problems with wind energy in Germany, where population filled law suits because of health issues. The same applies to water life in hydropower and for offshore windmills, just they can't complain that well ;-) This is why I like systems thinking: problems and their solutions are not one-factor-one- straight way out. Monitoring is an important tool. But 1.it does not come for free, and 2. in general investors do anything they can to avoid publication that can harm further growth. So there should be (financial) incentives to be open.
