      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

        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.

        Here is a pic of how close I was: https://ibb.co/rmQRmyZ

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

      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.

    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
