Meanwhile in the real world....
"In short, the United States is following California and Europe into disastrous energy policies that lead to frequent blackouts and brownouts, and people cutting down forests to warm themselves in frigid winters. Apparently, it needs to be noted that people regularly die when the power goes out, especially the sick, young, and elderly. Hospitals, nursing homes, and emergency services depend on reliable power.
Atop all these reasons to eschew wind farms, Lee notes another top concern of locals forced yet again to absorb the high costs of rich people’s fantasies: Wind farms are not only noisy and destructive to local habitats, they’re ugly as sin.
“Biden administration climate envoy John Kerry may bask in fawning headlines, but Hoosiers won’t be able to escape the sight of wind turbines or solar arrays as easily as he escapes Davos on a jet. These eyesores will be permanent features of daily life, along with — potentially — seasonal energy shortfalls,” Lee notes.
The brute ugliness of wind farms ought to be considered one more significant strike against them. Yes, wind turbines require slave labor and empower China by requiring rare-earth minerals China mostly controls and mines in horrifying work conditions. Building the equipment for wind farms and their installations badly damages the environment."

Hey, wind farms are fine - great even. They look better than smokestacks!
I get a kick out of "the sky is falling" attitude above. "If we add windmills to the power grid, the grid will collapse, people will die, cat and dogs will live together!!!"
"wind turbines require slave labor..." Like the slaves wouldn't just be doing something else. Did you read this crap?
"...by requiring rare-earth minerals China mostly controls and mines in horrifying work conditions." They do
coal mining for power. What is that cake walk on a sunny day??
Look Out - The Windmills are coming!
They'll get you! They'll get us all!!
They'll take your daughter - Errrh - and her little dog too!!
