your neighbors property is not yours either, and hmm, I wonder if datacenters and wind turbines have anything in common?

- justsid 1mo agoLet’s go with what this is actually about, windmills. I lived next door to a farm with windmills on it and I actually found them mesmerizing and nice to look at. Also a fun talking point with people visiting, but if we all had them in our backyard I suppose that novelty would wear off. So tl;dr: I would absolutely want to have windmills as my neighbours again. Datacenter not so much, but they are also substantially bigger, though not taller, than windmills.

- scott_w 1mo agoSpeak plainly. You’re making no sense whatsoever.
- 1234letshaveatw 1mo agoI'm sorry you were unable to grasp the point, which was that both are loud, and both can can have a impact even if located on an adjacent property. I hope that clears it up for you, but, as an aside, I suggest that instead of trying to make demands of people that you simply ask for clarification if you are have difficulty understanding something
- scott_w 1mo agoThat does not counter my point at all. There's a gaping maw between "a person's back garden" and "The North Sea." To demonstrate the difference to yourself, look up "Trump International Golf Links Aberdeen" and "Aberdeen Bay Wind Farm" on Google Maps and tell me the gap, in miles, between the two properties. Once you've done that, think about the analogy you want to draw and ask it. Because your current analogy is fucking idiotic.
