Quick everyone, downvote to oblivion because this guy actually is educated in the subject

That guy sounds more like that pilot I know bitching how noise and pollution regulations make their job now difficult or even take their wings. It's not because they're in the biz they're not biased.

Meanwhile where I live, solar panels and wind turbines are happily recycled.

That sounds pretty different actually. On one hand you have someone talking about being inconvenienced.

On the other hand you have someone in the industry talking about practicality. Biased or not, people that work in their respective areas generally know the most about that same area, as opposed to random people online.

From where I'm sitting is still a random person online. I mean, I worked in a power plant for some time. It doesn't make me an expert for the whole sector.
