Yea good luck with that. Our energy needs require ever increasing growth. Producers are forced to put their equipment someplace. I for one would much rather have turbines or solar panels then vast amounts of water consumed, contaminated then sent to the underground water table by fracking and the associated gas pipelines.

I'm not enamored with nuclear either. Beyond the fact these also require huge amounts of water, most store their spent rods on site.

Coal generators require trainload after trainload of coal to be transported in. This along with the associated problem of what to do with the contaminated spent coal ash.

If people think turbines and panels are a negative envision those others which could end up in the area instead!
