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. Theyâre 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 theyâre 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, theyâre 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 theyâre all useless.

Nevermind, that I canât 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.

Cats putting in the hard work lol

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 whatâs the point when you donât already know this.
cooopsspace@infosec.pub â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Itâs such a weird time to start giving a fuck about birds considering conservatives donât care about wildlife or the environment they live in at all.

We need to build some more of those giant fans to blow away that smog

MY Ferd Canyonero XLT lariat canât protect the fetuses if there are windmills ruining my view! You⌠donât want the communists to win do you??? Why do you hate American and therefore all christians???

Fun thing you say that, one of my local attractions is a windmill park. Granted itâs on top of a gorgeous mountain range so I can see it from just outside of my house
Wanderer@lemm.ee â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Is that Sydney?
Iâm fairly certain thatâs forest fires
NathanielThomas@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Which is climate change based so it still works
ZodiacSF1969@sh.itjust.works â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Itâs either from the fires or the time that dust storm blanketed the east coast. That was crazy.
pineapplelover@lemm.ee â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Wind turbines are so cool. Recently droves past some and their fun to look at.
NikkiNikkiNikki@kbin.social â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
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???
AbsolutelyNotABot@feddit.it â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Honestly even some environmentalists over here are against wind turbines because they say they are âunnaturalâ and as such they shouldnât have a place in woods and natural landscapes.
So at this point Iâm starting to think weâre doom and fuck everything
nottheengineer@feddit.de â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
No, but they cast shadows and people donât flickering shadows in their homes.
FunkyClown@lemmy.fail â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
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. Itâs almost like the complainers have never seen one in person.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
I agree, theyâre fun to look at.
Stoneykins@mander.xyz â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
There so cool

This is the kind of content Iâm here to read.

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.
Little8Lost@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
I still want to scream âlook windturbinesâ in the train but i sever manage to drive with those i would be comfortable doing it with my adulthood
heimchen@discuss.tchncs.de â¨2⊠â¨years⊠ago
Yea, too they look amazing I donât get the ugly argument
