People Are Okay With Wind & Solar Installations In Their Neighborhoods, Studies Say::More neighborhoods than ever are accepting the role of solar and wind power installations near their homes and towns.
My in-laws had a neighbor with a turbine for years and it could get really loud on a windy day. That said if I have to choose between coal and a little noise, I’d still choose the noise.
I think the issue with fossil fuels is that their damage is not as apparent as a 100meter tall bird smasher. Thats why this conflict is so complex.
There are not as many wind turbines as there are cats in the US. You need some kind of normalization otherwise it’s not telling you what is the impact of installing a new wind turbine farm.
Also there is a chance that birds killed by cats were already weak and soon to die.
I’m not saying turbines are bird smasher. I’m saying that’s what an average person thinks. Also clearly they kill birds which is an exactly the issue. You can see wind turbines damage standing next to it and you can’t see fossil fuel damage unfortunately.
There’s only 70,000 wind turbins, and 58,000,000 cats. Say, do you live in a building with glass?
