      Some of the conservative psychopaths are so adamant against them because they are “too big”, or think they make noise? Like do these idiots think that the turbines make wind???

        Honestly even some environmentalists over here are against wind turbines because they say they are “unnatural” and as such they shouldn’t have a place in woods and natural landscapes.

        So at this point I’m starting to think we’re doomed and fuck everything

          Some valid critique against them is that the noise they make, make it difficult for people to live near them, or that they scare off the wild life population due to their noise. However, I wonder how much wild life will be destroyed when the earth ultimately explodes due to the use of other energy sources

            Yeah, just think about what would happen to the wild life population, if men just build unnatural constructions all over the world that destroys existing nature and around them there would be strange noise like from tools that are burning fossil fuel to create small explosions just to move something.

      I drove by a bunch of them last week. One was perfectly aligned with the road I was on until the horizon. When I got closer the road actually turned before getting close to it. It was mesmerizing. I would love to see wind turbines from my home.

    I live near a ton of them, they’re pretty cool. Unfortunately, I also live near a ton of idiots that want to get rid of them because they saw a picture of a dead bird and a single turbine that broke once on facebook and are convinced that they’re all useless.

      It’s such a weird time to start giving a fuck about birds considering conservatives don’t care about wildlife or the environment they live in at all.

    Fun thing you say that, one of my local attractions is a windmill park. Granted it’s on top of a gorgeous mountain range so I can see it from just outside of my house
