I agree with you, they have a big impact on several levels: noise, landscape, soil, wildlife and even local economy (would you like to go on a rural escape to a beautiful mountain village full of roads and metal giants)? Where I live in Spa

In this sense, I liked the book: Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Certainly, it explains that if we look at previous civilisations that have been annihilated, it seems that slow decay is a feasible path. According to their
