there will ALWAYS be some kind of opposition with something. Its sort of lame. People like to be against things to be against things.

I have had an idea.
In major cities where pollution is rife, like LA, Hong Kong, Melbourne etc etc, they should set up some kind of perhaps government-funded company to start hiring all roof space of high rise buildings and using them as solar panels, and fuck knows that roof space on a sky skraper would get a fair bit of sunlight, why not use it. They could make a killing selling the electricity into the grid, no? if you owned like 120 hectares of solar panels then thats a good bit of clean power right there

We have to start somewhere with clean renewable energy. I know wind isn't perfect but at least it's a start. I agree there should be more solar but it's not perfect yet either.
At least if there's an accident on a wind turbine it won't affect the next two generations of people. Don't forget Chernobyl. And lets talk about the long term storage of all that radioactive waste.
Ideally everyone would generate their own power via waterwheels, solar panels and such but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Better to have a piece of the landscape obscured by ugly propellors than to have humanity wiped out by global warming, I suppose?
Wind power has its drawbacks, but they aren't nearly so bad as the problems caused by most power generation systems. As technology gets better and solar power becomes cheaper and easier to use (not that setting up your own panels right now is even that difficult), wind turbines will probably become less prominent anyway.

Me too. I don't think a wind turbine is an eyesore. It's a monument to clean energy and respect for the environment. I can see beauty in that. We have a single wind turbine in my town and I think it's neat.
