Joe Rogan was right about these…😤

[@leonardticsay8046]

They give a lot of birds unwanted high fives.

[@christinathompson9780]

I agree when I lived in Woodward(NW Oklahoma) my neighbor had several put onto his property and they were loud at times. It sounded like a jet engine. I thought if they ever blew down south they would destroy my house probably hurting my family. They were not what I asked for moving to the country. Sadly I learned they are not a benefit to how much they cost society. They do have their place in small farms but economically they are not conducive to big electrical needs.

[@ZRayBorgerding]

They are all around my house, they clean them once a year because of the oil they spew everywhere. Not to mention they spew all over the crops below them too!

[@cowdoc123]

They seem majestic and interesting. What are we going to do with them when they’re done? Recycling isn’t an option. Are we progressing? Same for solar farms. Are we progressing or just repeating what we’ve done for centuries?

[@30acreshop_time]

You cant process them. You can’t melt them. They burry them. And it’s horrible for the environment

[@cowdoc123]

They get burried

Yeah, they're horrible here in western Kansas too. It's ridiculous out there

[@k8o568]

There out west too. Eyesore is polite. 😢

[@dovakhiinmaster2967]

this is why we build nuclear plants. they are much more efficient for space and have fewer environmental consequences

[@jacobchurchwell2410]

In Florida I feel the same way about solar panels

[@bretaskinner3143]

My Iowa farming Dad got them to go away when he asked if they would remove them when they stopped being productive ;)

[@Winterrolla]

I don’t mind windmills they are cool and green energy

[@Saanonymous80]

What about they're only good for a few years and not able to be recycled? For the footprint they have, the amount of energy they produce is negligible.

[@jpvet5411]

Yeah, we have them here all over Kansas as well. Rarely ever see them even working and oversized loads constantly clog up and tear apart the roadways.

[@matthewreese3919]

Not only that but the energy they create isnt even used in Kansas they ship out of state. Sadly they want to put up more just North of my town.

[@gamb155]

True, but harnessing wind power still seems like a plausible idea. I'm in Texas on acreage and we have to secure everything outside so it's not blown away to damage others property.

[@geemeyers2559]

I agree they are an eyesore.

[@arrowheadbison]

These things are garbage, got em all around our ranch in between Tuttle & Minco.

[@rayhartpence1820]

If you think they're ugly, you are listen to how noisy they are it's not unusual to be able to hear them 2 miles away of course, living in the country? There's no road noise. You don't have an interstate anywhere by and now it sounds like you have a interstate right by your home and try to sit outside. And all you hear is those 100. And 5 foot blades going whoosh woosh. Whoosh

[@lostinsperry1988]

Yeah it frikin sucks.. we had 3 fall over this year.. maybe more will go

[@lostinsperry1988]

We have both.. panels are almost worse.. especially when they use the best farm ground around..

[@FarminginKansas]

Straight facts

[@dort5436]

When the wheel mill falls apart they send fiberglass bits into the farm land

[@UAFF0069]

I read the back of your hoodie and that is what I teach my sons , God Family Country , Honor Duty Respect ...

[@Saanonymous80]

They're also "non-recyclable"

[@ThePhantom9861]

In Wyoming those are pretty practical because of how much wind we get

[@30acreshop_time]

In south western Manitoba ca here we get 90mph winds and they aren’t affective at all.

[@arrowheadbison]

Yeah, ours turn off if it gets too windy..

[@lostinsperry1988]

We had 3 fall over this year because its too windy.. they shut em off every night in the summer.. huge scam.. only 3 years old..

[@arrowheadbison]

@ awful!!

[@derekwright2388]

@@lostinsperry1988 They turn them off at night as they dont need the power to be produced when less power is needed.

[@SusanSlack-j8f]

Your right sir...😮

[@joelduckett5632]

They are everywhere

[@mikep5178]

I'd rather have them. Then, 30 or more acres of solar panels. With the windmills, you can still use the land.

[@nicholaslandrum5130]

I live right in the middle of a windmill farm in Indiana, I can tell you for a fact, half of these things are standing still majority of the time, not because they are broken, or no wind, but because there is no demand for electricity at that time. A/c power can not be stored so it’s on demand only, and when no demand they are shut down.

[@fakeaccount8624]

in northern germany these are widely accepted and liked.

[@liamhilt1822]

Nuclear! Do it right, donit safe. Sure the byproduct is not great but its small and isolated. By far the most efficient, and most clean. There are advancements in converting coal powered plants with nuclear. Steam is steam.

[@kathy3178]

Same for the soar panel fields. They are such an eye sore and bad for the environment. We need trees for oxygen and flood prevention. The animals need their homes.

[@Saanonymous80]

I don't mind a properly done solar setup. Such as using the roof space of large buildings.

[@kamelabrower1759]

There's so many in Eastern Washington

[@Eimermann4613]

Our neighboring city wants to build them directly at my village. We hired lawyers that said: "You can't do anything against that"

[@AndreaChapa-l8h]

I agree with you. I hate them. They ruin the scenery. They’re everywhere in Texas. Yesterday I ended up seeing a convoy of 18 wheelers hauling those ugly blades. 😡😡😡😡😡😡

[@NotJude05]

Dude that would be a epic ninja star ⭐️

[@SpecialJay]

They're better in the sea. But still cause huge problems there

[@OPT4960]

I'd take those over the solar panels any day. Western NY is getting plastered with them.

[@kimgilson7903]

I hate these things tons of them in the mountains of Pennsylvania and west Virginia.

I HATE the fact Oklahoma has SO MANY around OKC. Way to ruin your beautiful countryside with these eyesores. 😢

[@mrpickles7812]

I think they look super cool! It’s like modern solutions to man’s problems mixed with man’s historical traditions

[@30acreshop_time]

They look awful. And it’s not a solution to anything, maybe wrecking bird migration, and ruining the environment

[@davidkramer6585]

I'll bet you live where there are none. If you had to look at the f'ing turbines everyday you'd have a different outlook.

[@kurtcobainii1075]

Yall ever see these mfs off the shore? That shits awesome looking And, the ones on land kinda look cool too But, im from the deep south, literally THE least scenic place on Earth No decent sized hills, its soaking wet, bland ass pine and oak trees, and a bunch of little critters that couldnt hurt anybody if they tried. Except snakes. And mosquitoes. And gators. And boar. And spiders. Oh yeah, they do hurt shit Name one cool thing about the deep south that isnt "swamps" or "beaches" bc I dont live near any of that. Well, at least 2 hours away from it. And theres so many trees you cant see the sun til 10 am and you cant see it anymore after about 5 (in the summer) Unless you got a field So yeah, I find everything large and machinistic cool looking, and also any kind of open sky.

[@Dr.DevX42]

That was probably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Joe Rogan said about windmills

[@ck8191]

I think a man ought to be able to do what they want on their own land. If that means putting windmills up, then he has the right. If that means growing crops doused in round up, then he has the right. I don't think the government should subsidize either.
