    And of course energy sprawl is inversely proportional to energy density, flying in the face of long-held environmental tenets. Those who challenge it get called NIMBYs or climate change deniers, though some are unfortunately the latter (thanks a lot, Trump).

    So-called environmentalists have become major developers of open space and try to hide behind terms like “clean energy.” The word “clean” is dishonestly vague when infrastructure built with fossil fuels keeps invading natural or bucolic places. Calling a turbine-spiked mountaintop “beautiful” is evil to me (e.g. Laurel Mountain, WV as a prime example). Sellouts seem to outnumber ethical environmentalists now.

    Is this pro-Trump angle typical? I just signed up for this forum, thinking it was an intelligent site (referenced from somewhere else). Not sure what to make of posts like this. Trump is clearly corrupt, as are those who ignore his constant lie-stream and harp on lesser, random lies by others.

    A few things Trump gets right are that immigration and wind turbines are not good, but his reasoning isn’t nearly as environmentally-based as it ought to be. Overpopulation of humans and machines is killing nature and the quality of life but Trump mostly seems to be anti anything associated with Democrats.

    Wind Energy Shills Capitalize on Trump’s Climate Change Denial

    Since you’re referencing a Rembrandt landscape, how about mentioning one of the biggest flaws in the Green New Deal? It’s known as energy sprawl, namely from industrial wind turbines in the “green” realm, but they have little ability to replace the carbon fuels that build them. Viewsheds are being spoiled at great distances and we’re supposed to accept it as the new normal.

    Environmentalists used to fight FOR open space, scenery and wildlife. Now they make smug excuses for sprawling new machinescapes. It’s grim to see these pervasive attitudes. They presume to be solving AGW while mostly just posturing and enriching the construction industry. Same old growthism, new branding.
