Comment on Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy
MaxHardwood@lemmy.ca 1 week agoAlmost 50% of energy is lost in transmission. Keeping renewable energy closer is good.
How do you think power/energy is sent to your home?

Again I’m a full supporter of renewable energy, I just believe we are unfairly targeting golf when no one in their right mind wants a solar farm in the middle of their city.
I think you and I are for the same solutions, taking anger out on golf courses because they take up a lot of space is a bad argument when it comes to replacing them with utility grade power source. No one wants utility grade power sources where their community golf courses are. I’d argue I want more green space(not more golf courses) in my community. Each community is different and has different needs but getting rid of existing green spaces would be a last resort for me when it comes to replacing it with a utility grade power plant.

Pretty easy to win debates when you declare your opponents insane by nature of being your opponents.

Who the hell wants a solar farm in the middle of their city? You? This is so dumb.

You’re strawmaning your opponent so hard that you’re the one that’s coming off as dumb.
Its kinda like someone saying “maybe if they didn’t all have garages we could fit more houses in the same space” and you just keep replying “WHAT!?! You want me to park my car in my living room!?!?” over and over again.
