OMG this is the dumbest thing.. In NY the town of Florida banned a windmill on waste property, then in racquet lake where they get all sorts of outages they stopped a battery from being installed because they might catch fire. These were BYD LFP batteries, and they were referencing LG chem batteries catching fire in Arizona as the reason.
Upstate NY is just the cold weather version of the Bible Belt.
I live in wny the windmills fucking suck. You spend your life savings buying property in the country with gorgeous scenery and views and bam farmer under the thumb of the state gets conned into putting windmills up and your peaceful piece of property is now staring at some dystopian looking shithole landacape. I dont do the conspiracy theories but i totally get voting to not allow windmills in an area you own property in.
I saw them in the little falls area they look fine to me. I'm sure they are noticed when people have lower energy bills.
These things look beautiful though
Right? I can get "it's not the view I signed up for" or something, but my dude you do not own the view. You want to own the view it costs a hell of a lot more
All you have to do is sell power cheaper then them from a source that is also clean or decrease the usage and bam less demand for windmills
