I read an article where the CEO of AT&T had to walk to the end of his driveway to use cellphone. Silly people live on the phone but donāt want cell towers.
I saw on the news yesterday, a woman speaking out about a solar power field proposed in her area." I am very much in support of solar energy. I just think it should be somewhere else."
I have a simple track phone that gets reception almost anywhere while the expensive phones often donāt work in many rural areas. Funny how youth today canāt exist without a device in front of them.
I disagree with the people who donāt like the landscape spoiled by wind turbines ā most every place Iāve seen them is in farm lands of the Midwest, dedicated āwind farmsā or way out to sea. If a farmer wants to allow access to his own property and earn some constant money, who is another person to complain. I could understand in front/around a natural attraction, but is anyone really going to propose such a thing; I donāt see that happening..
ApikorosWhy are so many destructive developers headquartered in Canada? Because Canadians organize their neighborhoods and can NIMBY the worst of those schemes, while the US considers such mutual defence [note spelling] to be āsocialistā and so are ripped off individually.
In Southern California some people have tried to disguise the cell phone towers as trees. It would work better if they didnāt put āpineā trees in the middle of the desert, though.
MissScarletA large number of pine species are desert or semi-desert ecology (piƱon, lodgepole, ponderosa, etc..The Danish offshore wind farms (largest in the world) have had no such problem. Aquatic wildlife left the area during construction, but returned when operations began. Birds tend to see the whole farm as a single unit and fly around (strangely, not over) with the exception of gulls and cormorants, which find the service platforms an ideal nesting site.
