Turbine “torture” for Greek islanders as wind farms proliferate

Consider me sceptical.

In the the Netherlands, in the rich city of Noordwijk, some people claimed that the tourists would stay away before the placement of wind turbines near the coast. The wind turbines came. The tourists stayed.

Didn't Trump sign some laws that would prevent wind turbines near his Florida property?

Mr. Tepix, people accept situations and practices you would never believe.

And with your comment you were not even referring to Average Joe, Median Jack and Typical Maude, not even Random Randall: your mention was exactly of Selected Sam. "Those who remained, remained". "Meant was, in the same amount": the pool is vast.

...Can you believe this very post received anonymous mark of downvotes, Mr. Tepix? When you lay your consideration on people, record their wild behaviour for something that teaches you about people, not about norm.

This happened in the UK too with Navitus Bay. Opposition to the project was astroturfed, probably by oil/gas/nuclear.
