The building of windfarms are popular with the British people
Three-quarters of Britons back expansion of wind power, poll reveals
" In the Opinium poll, 79% of Tory voters said they were strongly or somewhat in favour of windfarms being installed in the UK, compared with 83% of Labour voters and 88% of Lib Dems. Two-thirds of all voters said they would be happy for a windfarm to be built near them.
By contrast, only 46% of all voters favoured new nuclear power stations in principle, while a mere 32% favoured gas power plants. Less than a third of voters would be happy with a nuclear power station being built near them, while less than a quarter would approve of having a gas power station in their neighbourhood."

Oh, was just thinking about that. Isn't is the place where "Vegetable Oil" is manufactured? Funny how they need hexane to make oil from vegetables. But at least the creation of these fat substitutes found a commercial use for the seeds which otherwise would be waste. (or compost) Plus, those fervently in the "Green" belief system might be thrilled to know that these manufactured oils directly reduce overpopulation.
Does anyone have photos of the areas of the world which are being stripped mined, often with child labor, in order to make these new fangled batteries used in EV's and to make Solar & Wind Farms viable? Unlike lead acid batteries which are efficiently recycled, it would be great if someone invented a process
to recycle, or at least safely sequester, these new chemistry batteries.

I'm agnostic about WTGs, but given human advancement has always hinged on access to cheaper and more abundant energy sources it strikes as hubris to insist that this trend of millenia is suddenly to be reversed without consequence.
