  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 doom 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.

        What noise? I was in a rural area taking this photo of one and even then, this close you had to listen carefully to hear anything: ibb.co/rmQRmyZ

        I'm always wondering about that. I have never been close to one, so i don't know whatkind of noise they make and how loud it actually is. But in videos where people are next to it, it never picks up anything. Saying they are unnatural is just absurd, just look around what we did to this planet, non of it is "natural". If these assholes find a better solution, they can start complaining

      I actually think they’re quite pretty. And they’re not very loud even standing under one.

    No, but they cast shadows and people don’t flickering shadows in their homes.

    Morons. I saw some on the weekend and drove as close as I could get to them to check it out. I was within getting messed up range if a blade came off and I could barely even hear it. This was rural with zero background noise as well. It’s almost like the complainers have never seen one in person.

  I agree, they’re fun to look at.

      I’m convinced, I know where some are nearby so I’m going to head over they’re soon and check them out.

  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.
