      Oh well. I’ll listen to them if they simultaneously show up at the protests against all the subsidies that go towards big oil, all the crude oil that leaks into the ocean, nuclear power plant nextdoors etc.

          I think most people don’t have a clue about energy and all the things that come along with it. It’s mostly some stupid culture war. I mean sure an off-shore windfarm doesn’t come without a toll on the environment when constructing it. It’s just questionable whether any alternative is better than that. And having a windmill nextdoors… Well, just visit the Dutch people or northern Germany and make up your mind. I’ve been camping next to one and it’s okay-ish. Way better than where I live which is a city next to a city with an airport. That’s some proper noise nuisance. With the windmills the only really annoying thing is if you’re sitting in the shades of the rotors. But there’s regulations how they can’t be built close to other buildings.
