IntelUser2000 It's also shown even "green" projects harm the environment. Off-shore wind power plants create unbearable noise for the whales, even resulting in beaching because they would not be able to rest. "Those that ruin the earth will be put to ruin". Reply

"Those that ruin the earth will be put to ruin". 1) You've got to include references for claims like you're making against offshore wind. Otherwise you come across sounding like a mouthpiece for certain politicians who have a very well publicized personal vendetta against offshore wind for supposedly obstructing the view on one of their precious golf courses. 2) Unless you're proposing an alternative, renewable energy is still vastly preferable to fossil fuels in terms of environmental impact.

vintageFireman All industrial noise, traffic noise, green energy noise and even the air conditioners humming outside your window is just noise. If you don't want excess noise, move to the middle of nowhere. Reply

And then a few years down the line, your neighbors sell off their property to a developer, who then decides to build a data center next to your property. and you can't do anything about it because the village council has been bought out by the tech bros. They'll just tell you to move elsewhere if you don't like it. If you do stay, they'll cut off your water, electricity and sewage while doing construction. Reply

But they hear and communicate in ultrasonic noises, or at least frequency we can't hear. When the researchers measured that sound as they would hear it was immensely loud and irritating. I will link it when I find it again. Photovoltaic is really the only one that operates silently and with least damage. The solution to what you are saying? By not wasting them like with these ridiculous data centers. We could have fusion and we'd find a way to get to the peak again. It's same with most people when they start earning tons. They spend a ton. Reply

We could have fusion… The dominant data center and airport noise at 5 miles is subsonic. Same with the wind turbines. 20Hz for blades with 1800 rpm inside, same as most industrial motors. Several fusion plants are going online this decade. Ultrasonic is screeching from fan belts, jet engines, turbodiesel ship engines (anything in high rpm range). Sonar and dynamite fish farming break whale eardrums. No one is complaining about that. But whales are dying and washing ashore in record numbers on the west USA Pacific coast. Reply
Krod_Mandoon I work in one of these facilities, and have for about 7 years. In that time my hearing, and overall health, has improved. Why can't people just admit they don't like how big and ugly these facilities are, which is far, instead of coming up with imaginary issues to complain about. I can 100% say that I can hear my residential neighbor's ac unit way clearer from inside my house, than I can hear the facility while standing directly outside of it in the parking lot. Reply
