Reply to comment by SailingSpark in NJ Clears $1.1 Billion in Ocean Wind-Power Line Projects by greenhousecrtv

Sustainable energy from aesthetically pleasing power generators bringing permanent well paying jobs. Clearly a threat to the quality of life of Ocean City residents. /s

These cunts only care about their view.

I know. And I think they are being stupid. Because if the choice is between this and this it seems like an easy choice to me.

By the way. Both those images are of real, existing power generators here in NJ. So this is literally the choice.

I never understood why people think wind turbines ruin their view, I think they look great. Most likely just making up excuses to oppose renewable energy, the same way right wingers say shit like "but what about the birds killed by wind energy?" or "but there's so much mercury in CFL bulbs!"

It's just an insane, moronic argument because there is NO good reason to not go renewable in many cases, but the right had made it a political thing, so they have to latch onto something to explain why they're opposed to it

I agree with you. I also like the way they look.

I work in Atlantic City near the turbines there. I think they look good and they do not bother the view at all. If anything the sewerage plant they are located at looks better because of the turbines.

Jokes on them. Soon enough water front property will be inland enough to not see the turbines.

Those turbine blades are not recyclable or biodegradable and end up in landfills, there's more controversy with them i believe.
