The new giant windmills that generate electricity. Mostly they’re protested by people who don’t want to see them, or possibly hear them (I’m not sure that they are actually loud enough to be louder than whatever wind is blowing them unless you’re right next to them), or people upset about the number of birds they kill (although most of the people I’ve seen complaining about the bird deaths seem to be supporters of fossil fuels so their sincerity seems a bit dubious).
The generate power, and people protest them because they’re worried about marine life as well as magats because of a conspiracy that they kill large birds. One random example was in Bedford, New England last year.
Oh well. I’ll listen to them if they simultaneously show up at the protests against all the subsidies that go towards big oil, all the crude oil that leaks into the ocean, nuclear power plant nextdoors etc.
I think most people don’t have a clue about energy and all the things that come along with it. It’s mostly some stupid culture war. I mean sure an off-shore windfarm doesn’t come without a toll on the environment when constructing it. It’s just questionable whether any alternative is better than that. And having a windmill nextdoors… Well, just visit the Dutch people or northern Germany and make up your mind. I’ve been camping next to one and it’s okay-ish. Way better than where I live which is a city next to a city with an airport. That’s some proper noise nuisance. With the windmills the only really annoying thing is if you’re sitting in the shades of the rotors. But there’s regulations how they can’t be built close to other buildings.
People protest lots of different things across the political spectrum.
AI
Trump
Musk
Datacenters
Abortion
Transexuals
Fossil Fuels
Windmills
And I bet to some degree, it’s different sides of the same coin we’re protesting here.
I personally have nothing in common with dumbasses who protest against transexuals and windmills. I side squarely with the trans and the windmills.

Wait. I’m unaware of windmills. What are they protesting?
Also, where do windmills still exist?

For Real, the Bilgewater from transporting oil alone is horrible for marine life.
