How is it "literally impossible"? At most it would be a massive financial and structural investment that would take years to do. Difficult, but not impossible in the least.

>Wind energy is also horrible for the environment as when ever it gets too windy, it has to be shut off or it's motor will combust.

How does shutting down a power generating turbine due to inclement weather make it horrible for the environment?

>That ain't even the main issue, it's the fact it's killing thousands of endangered birds every year, and tens of thousands of non endangered birds.

If you actually did research instead of listening to rightwing pundits spin yarns about imaginary bogeymen you'd know that the amount of birds killed by wind turbines is so few as to be almost a complete non issue. Coal and natural gas plants actually kill many dozens of times more birds per megawatt generated than wind or solar. If you want to protect birds, build more wind and solar.

>Solar has also been killing birds that fly over the solar farms, getting fried by the intensified sunlight reflected off of panels.

You're thinking of water heated sunlight reflection solar. It uses a vast collection of mirrors that reflect sunlight onto a water tower to boil the water and use the steam to turn a turbine. Photovoltaic solar panels installed nowadays absorb sunlight by turning it into electricity directly.

No one is putting mirrors on their roof to boil water for steam turbines. PV panels are way more efficient now. And PV panels certainly don't emit high intensity beams of energy capable of frying birds.

Maybe go read about the stuff you're trying to discredit before you go spout such a massive wall of lies and falsehoods.
