Those wind turbines are such eyesores

@grrlscientist That 'dark satanic mill' looks so 19th century, but just showing high-voltage power lines would make the argument. And those are linear, not point, features.
@grrlscientist Wot you have to understand is that the coal plants are in mucky dirty parts of the city where poor people live, whereas some wind turbines are in pretty parts of the countryside where rich people live.

A pity I can’t boost this, because you haven’t added Alt Text. 😢
@KimSJ @grrlscientist
Is there a way to add AltText and credit original artist, on someone else's toot?
@KimSJ @grrlscientist It bothers me more that it looks AI generated. One objective measure: the speech balloon should be white, yet it's yellowish, which is a common AI bias.
@grrlscientist Cues Aqualung, cuz black lung is fugly...
@grrlscientist, reminds me I had some pretty shots of coal plants to post.

My only beef is when they chop down trees to erect wind turbines. There are better spots than in the middle of our forests, thanks.

Those forests are an important part of the water cycle and the carbon cycle and we will not gain optimal climate stability by deforesting.

@grrlscientist Esse recurso, comum em charges, tem um custo: ele pode reforçar um estereótipo de que pessoas mais velhas são necessariamente retrógradas ou incapazes de compreender questões contemporâneas. É aí que entra o risco de etarismo. A associação velho = ignorante/desatualizado é um clichê. Isso invisibiliza a diversidade real entre pessoas idosas — muitas são justamente protagonistas em debates ambientais, científicos e políticos.

On the right there is a windturbine and green hills. On the left there is a coal fired plant and dirty air and ground. In the middle there is an old man facing right and saying, "Those wind turbines are such eyesores".

@grrlscientist This should be dedicated to all those self defined "ecologists" who said things like "those horrible turbines would deface the magnificient landscape of typical vineyards". It's not invented, I've read such statement on local newspapers, years ago.
@grrlscientist what's the obsession with coal? Everybody is phasing out coal. Using it as part of any argument is moot.
