Offshore turbine farms are beautiful imo, very real yet alien-feeling imo

I quite the same on land anywya. I admire the ingenuity of the view. Seeing wind turbines and solar farms on the landscape is nice; cool, even.

People that don’t like them, I just don’t know why. Maybe they had a traumatic interaction with a desk fan as a kid.

The sentiment against renewable energy is about as rational as the sentiment against vaccines. Yet here we are.

Honestly I think that any community that objects to wind farms or solar panels just on irrational bases like that should get an oil derek built in the centre of town, even if it’s just for show. Just to make the point.

A lot of it is NIMBYism, it’s not that they don’t want wind farms it’s that they don’t want wind farms here. Because they think that if you don’t build a wind farm in their community you’ll also not build a cold burning power station in their community. Often this is correct because what is a good location for wind farm is a bad location for a power station.

NIMBYism is certainly a factor but a lot of it is also just general Trumpery.

“I want nothing to change, ever, and I want to enjoy all my luxuries without accepting any kind of personal burden or to compromise on anything as long as I live. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR??”
