Has this person ever driven past a factory farm?
They aren't grassy. They're muddy and full of shit. You can also smell them from a mile away.
Ever driven by a patch of solar panels and turbines? It's mostly just empty space. Not exactly tranquil--more mundane, but it's a hell of a lot better than a farm.

They're so cool. We drive past a bunch of them on the way to visit family every summer. Most people don't realize how M A S S I V E turbines can be. They're all sprinkled around on still existing, real family farms. Like the top picture, but with enormous propellers towering over them.
It's rad as hell. And if you don't look reeeeeealllly high up, you would barely even notice them on foot.
On Sundays I work the farmers market and the stall next to me is cheese from a idyllic looking farm like the picture. Like 4oz of cheese curds are $15 with my vendor discount.
Stop! you're thinking too much! It'll scare the normies!
They do make noise though, so it's not a good ideia to put them too near places where people live
also it has to be said, wind turbines don't kill that many birds ultimately. it is, naturally, outdoor cats by like a few orders of magnitude
Another thing to add, people have learned that just painting over one of the blades reduces the amount of birds killed.
Looking at a smokestack and thinking that's not harming birds. Not to mention animal growth hormones in feces and insecticides directly poisoning birds or killing their food source. That's not even touching the anti vegan bend here cause that's obviously farcical on it's face. 2 cows and a single sheep isn't a farm, it's having big pets and vegans are against those guys getting the equivalent of a wind turbine to that bird in a mechanized process by the millions. It's the same mentality as the birds in the comic, they think it's worse cause the birds die near the turbine and they have to see it instead of a long drawn out mass extinction event that we're doing now, same with their happy little cows and sheep, as long as they don't see what happens to them and are just presented with a pastoral idealistic image they'll treat that as reality. No object permanence. These are the mental gymnastics cowardice puts you through. Fuck this guy and his violent insistence on the world abiding to the maintenance of his childish fantasy.
SO TRUE
[Mirror Universe Joe Rogan voice] Jamie pull up footage of the pig shit lagoons
Dead birds from turbine straw man fallacy vs whole sell slaughter of cattle, pigs, chicken, etc in industrial factory farms. Who wins? You decide! Epic Chud Battles of History!
windfarms cause smog?
Oh for sure, smog wouldn't get anywhere without all those windmills blowing it around.
Comic is wrong, the best moment to spray your solar panels with pesticides is right before dawn
Communication towers and building collisions kill more birds than windmills
But outdoor cats take the cake.
Farmers are basically at war with nature as a profession. Some of the worst environmental things I have seen or heard of were on farms.
Like a dude I knew managed to crush an old car battery with a tractor and basically shrugged it off. "Welp it's in the ground now."
Some nugget headed dude I lived near had a retaining pond that he never lined and it would just catastrophically burst and flood every single year. Just the dumbest shit.
This stuff actually personally bothers me because it's got like a parallel of all the shitty trad people that think farming is easy baked into it. You know what happened to the little house on the Prarie? It got blown away in the dustbowl. So go have fun with your 40 acres and your mule until you turn the topsoil to shit by monocropping the land to death.

Surely after the first couple of times... idk
I wonder what the culture is like in less industrialised countries. Still want to visit Cuba
He had water rights so he could just be indifferent to thousands of gallons running down the hill. It also was frustrating because besides the wasted water there were frogs and birds and bugs that lived in that pond and the idea of their whole life being ruined because dingus didn't want to buy some plastic bummed me out. Frogs are cool. I dealt with mosquitoes from that pond. Maybe try to keep our amphibian friends around so they can deal with the mosquitoes instead? Like I said, some dudes are just "at war with nature." Being more responsible would save money and resources but some of these farmers are just locked in their wasteful ways.

Lmao
i look like this and say this
Must....resist.....misanthropy......
lmao I saw my uncle repost this exact post on facebook
I'm vegan btw
It is true, a lot of "green energy" projects are transparently massively ecologically destructive grifts, but also, most animal agriculture looks more like massive sheds pumping out millions of gallons of toxic waste
Not even worth arguing with those fucks, since they will vehemently defend pipelines that regularly burst and kill entire acres or pollute the air and water at every possibility they can. Suggest someone can go easy on the roadsalt on a timid winter? They'll add more salt until the local ecology mimics Utah.
I got a degree in Environmental Health and I've only got more broken down over the years.
It's usually kind of easy explaining to a reactionary that farm land is usually a net carbon producer. Farms require land is cleared of trees and other vegetation. They're usually covered in mud. Clearing out trees removes what was previously a carbon sink.
In fact, most models of the little ice age account for less agriculture being a contributing factor. Ghenghis Khan, the black plague, and European contact with America caused a sudden decrease in farmland
