A coal power plant is also a central spreading point of ... well poison really (sulphur oxides are essentially poison). The ugliness of coal power plants just begins with their looks.
They've got large coal dumping grounds. They usually have a freight train station that had coal dumped all over it, so everything within 10 meters of it died. They just let all of this sit in open air usually, plus there's the massive amount of smoke, so you can smell them from kilometers away even when there is wind (and let's just not discuss when there isn't, just visit Beijing).
- dogma1138 8y agoNo one said coal was better or that we should even use it. But commercial scale solar farms are fucking ugly they take spaces away from people and advocating for more of them at the expense of green spaces is terribly short sighted. Put solar everywhere we already have ugly box buildings and roads don’t take up even more shared spaces some of them due to current laws are written can even be nature reserves because we’re green after all.
- maxerickson 8y agoYeah, they are big and ugly, way to emphasize something I said. But solar takes up a huge amount of space, it's worth admitting it.
