You are apparently seeing the matter on the point of view of "dispute" and "views". You can have a dispute about administrative policies, but torture is not a view.
When some credible people, caveats aside - even a single one - tell you that "it is a torture", it probably is - the phenomenon rightfully takes the label of 'torture', as the state of things. Objectively. That some people do not perceive it as such, means little - especially in territories where people are used to dumb themselves down; it just means that some or many people can be masters in disregard. You may not mind about all sort of unhealthy situations: this does not mean they are good for you. And if some (e.g. among said «kids») «don’t mind», «because they don’t have 50 years of memories», this should be worrisome as it means that some have no idea of what is proper, never could gain such experience. And asking the majority about what is good or not makes little sense in today's world: what «you’re only hearing from a minority» is, if anything, more probable, not less (already in general, you would not ask in a plebiscite about the validity a medical diagnosis or an engineering detail; today the hiatus between "good sense" and "common sense" is staggering).
But: if with that «kids are likely to think that /a different view/ is a cheap cost», it is meant that "kids may be convinced that the issue with wind turbines is the visual modification of the landscape" - this is absolute insanity. The issue is with pollution, with the noise: if they do not know, they must be informed. See how little your "majority vs minority" matters? You'd rely on the judgement of people that could link "wind turbines" to "I preferred different details in the panorama"?!
