Wind turbines can unpredictably spin apart and sent giant blades hurtling toward the ground. And when they are operating normally, they're basically a fucking sky blender for birds.
This is true. Then they should just go to solar panels on residential roofs. Not the ones that are the big dumb looking panels but the shingle type. Some of them look really nice too. If we're supposedly in this horrific climate catastrophe then this should just be mandatory, no questions asked, who cares if you're a bazillionaire, you get no special treatment. So clearly it's not.
Exactly, and nearly every state has all these extra rules and regulations about solar panels and how you connect to the power grid when you have solar. You'd think they'd encourage people to go completely off-grid, but it's practically illegal in most places.
And because solar panel installation is so expensive, it only makes financial sense if you get a discount in the form of government rebates. But those aren't guaranteed either, and I haven't found a solar company that will back up that rebate if for some reason I get rejected from the government. I know someone who had it happen after he had solar installwd.. For various reasons, he didn't qualify for the federal or stare rebates.
It's all a farce. They don't even try to hide their contempt for people who question them anymore.
