I share the viewpoint of the meme, but here is the answer: to see one of these big holes, I have to drive there to see it. To see a wind turbine, I just need to look out of the window. Wind turbines are scattered everywhere. Coal mining pits are localised. They are massive, yes, but who cares when you don't live nearby, lived in a village torn down for mining or driving through it?

Sooo... strip mining is better because it's less visible (it's actually not. source: have driven around the US)?

[–] stufkes@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well,... Yes. It's not visible, so it doesn't bother as many people. As long as sweatshops are situated in Thailand and not in European cities, it's easy to buy a cheap pair of jeans and not think about where it came from. Same with a coal pit "somewhere else where I am not".

Yes, but mines ruin villages and their water supply; and if the villagers protest, then the company may kill them

I’m not downvoting you but counterpoint: big fans are neat
