I am not arguing that we should stay on coal. I'm suggesting that you dont need to be an evil 1% banker to understand why both rich and poor people can be against windmills. >No one is asking you to put a turbine in your backyard Sure, but it is going in someone's backyard, and it isn't as footprintless as people make it seem. Poor and rich share the horizon alike; I would argue that you are the one in a bubble if it is so difficult for you to wrap your head around why people from all classes may not like wind power, especially when other options exist.I'll >But the lungs of a poor person are worth less than the view of a rich person Why haven't you donated all of your income to starving children? Is your comfort worth so much more than theirs? Dont put words in my mouth. You're refusing to analyse this from the perspective of cost/benefit. All I'm saying is that there is a non zero cost to choosing windmills over other alternatives, and it has nothing to do with classisim. There are documented complaints from farmers about noise and light problems from windmills. Again, let me spell this out for you, I dont care if it is true or not, there are people who believe it, and it is subjective. Further, who are YOU to make the decision for the helpless poor that you guard over so arrogantly that a handful of cancer deaths in a region are worth a potential eyesore? You know that people still willingly smoke cigarettes, right? Are you smarter than those people? Are you prepared to look them in the face and say that YOU know better than they?
