Honestly I think that any community that objects to wind farms or solar panels just on irrational bases like that should get an oil derek built in the centre of town, even if it’s just for show. Just to make the point.
A lot of it is NIMBYism, it’s not that they don’t want wind farms it’s that they don’t want wind farms here. Because they think that if you don’t build a wind farm in their community you’ll also not build a cold burning power station in their community. Often this is correct because what is a good location for wind farm is a bad location for a power station.
“I want nothing to change, ever, and I want to enjoy all my luxuries without accepting any kind of personal burden or to compromise on anything as long as I live. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR??”

NIMBYism is certainly a factor but a lot of it is also just general Trumpery.
Yeah, there’s a whole group of them that buy bigger less efficient vehicles because they think it patriotic to burn oil.

This should be so unnecessary. Both wind farms and solar farms are less obtrusive than neighbors!
