I wonder if people objected strenuously to pylons etc. when those
started to be built? Is it simply resistance to change that's making
people moan about it, or d'you think they have an idea that the
turbines maybe aren't the best way forward but haven't the facts to
marshal a decent argument so resort to 'flickering, noise!' as their
objections?
Coal and gas - bad for the environment - ban them.
Hydro - can't flood pretty valleys - no more.
Wind - ugly and harm birds - ban them.
Nuclear - radiation, bombs, waste - ban them.
Solar - requires vast areas of land - uneconomical and would displace food crops - ban them.
Solar - rooftop - OK as long as the neighbours don't object. Go to bed when it gets dark.
Wave energy - harms fish and might cause changes in coastal erosion - ban them
Tidal power - damages vital (for birds) wetlands - ban them.

That about sums up the Green arguments for future energy.

I'd like to disagree but you're bob on.

Actually, the changes in coastal erosion thing - could there be
something in that? I'm thinking of that bit of the English coast
that's merrily washing away because it's made of mud and sand,
basically. Could they build something that would generate electricity
and stop homes from sliding off the beach at the same time?

You mean Interfering With Nature?
Yes, it could probably be done, but someone will object.
No doubt some striped horned duckbill snail requires the eroded soil for its vital habitat.
