Old person, looking at an offshore wind farm: So, this is the view we gift to future generations, eh?

Young person: Nope, the view that will gift us future generations

@PatHudsonCartoons the irony is they're now so far offshore you can't see most of them due to the curvature of the earth.... Oh wait I see what you did there..

Been working in offshore wind for over 20 years when it wasn't popular, but happy I continue to this day for the future of everyone who comes after me.

@PatHudsonCartoons When we go to the beach at Hornsea all of our family is incredibly pleased to see the wind farms.

When we're at home we see Drax belching away which is much worse.

Here's a great map that @davidho posted a link to yesterday:

@PatHudsonCartoons Wind turbines look incredibly majestic. The NY ones are way too far offshore, but any folks can see are amazing to watch.
@PatHudsonCartoons
That's a beautiful view (in more senses than one).

I'm not sure they are neither equivalent nor exclusive. One good thing is that fish stocks appreciate wind farms. But dislike the underwater sound of it? https://tos.org/oceanography/article/acoustic-impacts-of-offshore-wind-energy-on-fishery-resources-an-evolving-source-and-varied-effects-across-a-wind-farms-lifetime

Fish and other Mammals have proven to be very adaptive to #RenewableEnergy infrastructure. Humans have not. @SciencesPoulet @PatHudsonCartoons
@InfoMgmtExec @PatHudsonCartoons Your hot takes are baseless. I'll not tackle them.

@SciencesPoulet @PatHudsonCartoons The idea seems right, but the size should be made more clear.

See https://map.4coffshore.com/offshorewind/ and compare to the area taken by equivalent nuclear power plants (even disregarding the different characteristics and usefulness).

@SciencesPoulet @PatHudsonCartoons “I wanted to troll some anti-nuclear activists but they blocked me so I’m gonna troll renewable energy fans instead”

@theothersimo @PatHudsonCartoons

Found a climate relativist who thinks we should not go all in against climate change, INCLUDING renewable & nuclear?

@SciencesPoulet @PatHudsonCartoons found a precious snowflake who wants all the attention. Blocked.

Lol, read the conversation once again, talk about a snowflake lol

I didn't even categorize anybody as an antinuclear activist in the first place. Didn't accept an answer to his despicable message.

I'm not losing much by not being able to interact with him anymore.
