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