    Another incredibly frustrating thing for me is the amount of regular people adamantly against any green energy being built near them. Which basically means no where in the country.

    Would these people prefer a coal plant??

      That’s the right wing media for you. I don’t have them blocked in my newsfeed so I can see what they are up to and it is a completely different world - pretty much anything green gets hammered.

      My reply to them is: “Would you prefer to live next to a nuclear plant, or some turbines/solar fields?”

        @rimu@piefed.social @breadsmasher@lemmy.world I’ve lived next to both, and it makes no difference. Both are good neighbors. I won’t live near coal power plants or oil refineries though.
