  Wind turbines are so cool. Recently droves past some and their fun to look at.

    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

      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 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 never understood how wind turbines “ruin the view”. They look sick af, eat shit

    They are different from what people are used to and they are what their perceived enemy likes so they hate it. Easy and very unfortunate.

    Yeah, we recently drove through Ottawa in Canada and there were wind turbines everywhere. We loved it. They’re beautiful.

      I think one of the main complains are the shadows of the blades. Imagine your whole house or office flickering for half the day. Thats why they are build further away from buildings.

    IMO they look pretty ugly and visually mar the landscape. They do so less than power plants and pollution and are a necessary evil for modern society to function. They look cool because of what they stand for and because they are novel (and because they’re new and clean, generally).

    I do worry about what will happen when they are decommissioned, as there are currently no ways to recycle the blades due to the way they are manufactured.

      Depends on the type, vertical spinning ones can be pretty short and look neat, like a bunch of alien pinwheel toys.

  I live near a ton of them, they’re pretty cool. Unfortunately, I also live near a ton of idiot 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.

      Nevermind, that I can’t drive more than 5 miles before seeing several dead animals hit by cars or a deer carcass blown to pieces by a semi truck, but no one seems to be bothered by that but me. I see more dead animals in a day in Iowa than I saw in nearly 25 years of living in Washington.

    Wind turbines are one of the few good things we have going for us. To stop us from killing ourselves. I could elaborate on this but what’s the point when you don’t already know this.

    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

  Is that Sydney?

  I’m fairly certain that’s forest fires

  • NathanielThomas@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Which is climate change based so it still works

    It’s either from the fires or the time that dust storm blanketed the east coast. That was crazy.
