    To explain the farmer view on wind: I don’t want Industry/ugly ass turbines right next to me.

    But banning solar is the dumbing fucking shit I’ve ever heard of. Bumfuckistan, Buckfuck Nowhere, my hometown at least has solar without a complaint.

      Zero farmers want to ban wind. They want to lease their land to power generation companies. They do it all the time, especially where they just graze cattle or sheep. They can do both at the same time.

      Farmers own land to make money, not look at it.

      Cry more. I don’t want the climate change to kill everyone.

      Edit: also if we’re complaining about ugly, let me make a list. I’ll start at people rolling coal and end at the fat acceptance people in my fit girls porn.
