Comment on People Are Okay With Wind & Solar Installations In Their Neighborhoods, Studies Say
Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoMy in-laws had a neighbor with a turbine for years and it could get really loud on a windy day. That said if I have to choose between coal and a little noise, I’d still choose the noise.

I think the issue with fossil fuels is that their damage is not as apparent as a 100meter tall bird smasher. Thats why this conflict is so complex.

graphic that shows wind turbines are not bird smashers
Yeah… bird smashers… say, do you have a cat?
Jelly_mcPB@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There’s only 70,000 wind turbins, and 58,000,000 cats. Say, do you live in a building with glass?

Uhm… 2400000000 / 58000000 ~ 41. 234000 / 70000 ~ 3. If we talking about preserving birds I would still address the cat issue before the wind turbine issue.

I’m not saying turbines are bud smasher. I’m saying that’s what an average person thinks.

In comparison with the other issues we have, the bird Windturbine one is a non-issue. However, it gets thrown in the ring over and over again, achieving exactly what the people persuing it want: distraction. It’s the same with nuclear, it’s the same with “ but we can’t store the energy“. A lot of decoys to slow down the process while we already have everything we need to take on the problem. Please people, don’t take the bait, focus on implementing the solution.
