Funnily (or tragically?) enough, lots of environmentalists here in Italy are opposing solar and wind projects too. I find that crazy.

- lostlogin 5mo agoThere is a lot of nuance to these situations. Destroying a whole valley for hydro is something locals could easily oppose. Similar with huge solar farms. You can be a proponent of a technology but anti a particular project.

- williamdclt 5mo agoReducing every personal reason to oppose every specific project to "NIMBY" is not nuance.
- snovv_crash 5mo agoThey specific example GP gave was locals being opposed to something. That is textbook nimbyism. Happy for other examples that would demonstrate nuance, but that isn't it.
- lostlogin 5mo agoThat would be part of it for sure. Locally there is opposition to gold mining. People in the region oppose it and with a broad definition of ‘NIMBY’ you’d be right. But neighbouring valley, town, region etc is a broad definition.
