The same people who oppose nuclear power, also seem to oppose wind farms. Why? Because they are an eyesore, apparently. Because coal or gas fired power stations are beautiful, right?
The same people who scream for vast investments in renewable energies, are the ones who oppose their implementation every single day.
So, let’s make up our mind: if we are in favour of renewable energy, let’s make an all out effort and JUST DO IT.
