[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 83 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (4 children) Wind turbines are so cool. Recently droves past some and their they're fun to look at. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] NikkiNikkiNikki@kbin.social 45 points 3 years ago (3 children) Some of the conservative psychopaths are so adamant against them because they are "too big", or think they make noise? Like do these idiots think that the turbines make wind??? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] AbsolutelyNotABot@feddit.it 41 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (2 children) Honestly even some environmentalists over here are against wind turbines because they say they are "unnatural" and as such they shouldn't have a place in woods and natural landscapes. So at this point I'm starting to think we're doomed and fuck everything permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] mandolrain@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago (3 children) Some valid critique against them is that the noise they make, make it difficult for people to live near them, or that they scare off the wild life population due to their noise. However, I wonder how much wild life will be destroyed when the earth ultimately explodes due to the use of other energy sources permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] JoKi@feddit.de 12 points 3 years ago Yeah, just think about what would happen to the wild life population, if men just build unnatural constructions all over the world that destroys existing nature and around them there would be strange noise like from tools that are burning fossil fuel to create small explosions just to move something. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FunkyClown@lemmy.fail 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) What noise? I was in a rural area taking this photo of one and even then, this close you had to listen carefully to hear anything: https://ibb.co/rmQRmyZ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mandolrain@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago (1 child) You know how we tend to lose hearing on some frequencies as we grow older? It's the same thing here basically, wind turbines are known to produce low frequency infrasound, which some people (but probably most won't) hear. It's doesn't seem perfectly clear how these sounds affect wild life. From a quick Google search on "wind turbines effects on wild life" I found an abundance of scientific articles touching on this topic permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FunkyClown@lemmy.fail 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I guess all the cows in the paddock right next to them were immune? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mandolrain@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago I'm not here to win an argument, but not knowing how infrasound from wind turbines affect wild life should be considered valid critique. Noise is not always high volume sounds, it's disturbing sounds at any frequency regardless if we or cows in a paddock can hear the noise or not permalink fedilink source parent [–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago I'm always wondering about that. I have never been close to one, so i don't know whatkind of noise they make and how loud it actually is. But in videos where people are next to it, it never picks up anything. Saying they are unnatural is just absurd, just look around what we did to this planet, non of it is "natural". If these assholes find a better solution, they can start complaining permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.world 10 points 3 years ago I actually think they're quite pretty. And they're not very loud even standing under one. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FunkyClown@lemmy.fail 4 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) Morons. I saw some on the weekend and drove as close as I could get to them to check it out. I was within getting messed up range if a blade came off and I could barely even hear it. This was rural with zero background noise as well. It’s almost like the complainers have never seen one in person. Here is a pic of how close I was: https://ibb.co/rmQRmyZ permalink fedilink source parent [–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 2 points 3 years ago No, but they cast shadows and people don't flickering shadows in their homes. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 33 points 3 years ago (2 children) I agree, they're fun to look at. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 10 points 3 years ago (1 child) There so cool permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nelots@lemm.ee 7 points 3 years ago I'm convinced, I know where some are nearby so I'm going to head over they're soon and check them out. permalink fedilink source parent [–] not_woody_shaw@leminal.space 3 points 3 years ago This is the kind of content I'm here to read. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.film 14 points 3 years ago (1 child) I drove by a bunch of them last week. One was perfectly aligned with the road I was on until the horizon. When I got closer the road actually turned before getting close to it. It was mesmerizing. I would love to see wind turbines from my home. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago I still want to scream "look windturbines" in the train but i sever manage to drive with those i would be comfortable doing it with my adulthood permalink fedilink source parent [–] heimchen@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 years ago Yea, too they look amazing I don't get the ugly argument permalink fedilink source parent
