Why does nobody talk about the real issue with wind and solar? It's ugly. It distracts from the landscape.

- squidbeak 3y agoUglier than fossil extraction, or the concealed ugliness of nuclear waste? Uglier than climate change?
- thomasmg 3y agoYes, I also prefer the beautiful oil rigs, and the nice smell of coal in the air. Anyway, all the buildings made by humans are so nice to look at, except for the really really ugly solar and wind installations!
- digging 3y agoI really loving driving through oil-rich areas and seeing flames dotting the horizon. Maybe we can start piping some natural gas directly to wind turbines to spew fires out the top so they're more elegant?
- i80and 3y agoI actually think wind farms look really relaxing and cool, and love driving past them. But that's just individual aesthetic preferences.
- jurassicfoxy 3y agoI didn't realize how stupid of an argument this was until my girlfriend pointed out how every single highway/landscape/street is absolutely covered in powerlines. The very few wind turbines are beautiful in comparison to what you see all over the continent, every day.
- locallost 3y agoIt's really crazy how easy it is to convince people of something.
- digging 3y agoAmong the countless reasons why this is an extremely bad argument, consider that the entire point of wind and solar is to prevent the landscape from being obliterated by climate change.
