Your grandchildren will care if they use coal or natural gas.
Aim higher. Do better.

I really hope we go all in on nuclear though, with some natural gas and get rid of the windmills. Solar, hydro, geothermal can stay where it makes sense.
Unfortunately our skies and land are littered with windmills made out of unrecyclable polymers that are terrible for raptors.
Queue someone quoting how many cats kill birds like competing with the top predator is a good thing, or ignoring the fact that we put these in raptors' wind streams and cats don't hunt those large birds (which are usually endangered)
Our kids deserve nuclear.
Like our lands and oceans are not littered with drilling platforms and fracking stations already
That being said, I would like to reduce those drilling rigs. However I don't see their existence justification for more damage by putting up windmills.
It's classic whataboutism. Both things can be harmful.
Below is an exercise to help point it out.
> Like our lands and oceans are not littered ... already
Without the "what about" subject, this statement looks bad doesn't it?
That reasoning is no different than the people who see trash on the ground and throw more because it's already trashed, so why not.
> made out of unrecyclable polymers
Does this mean you support banning plastic straws too? All plastics are essentially unrecyclable.
> Our kids deserve nuclear.
By all means. If it can be done as cheaply as wind and solar.
You don't know me, but yes birds are a passion of mine.
I don't particularly like drilling oils and we should transition off.
Does that justify the damage windmills do? No.

I support as little waste as possible. Everything adds up. Especially giant windmills.

Nuclear is cheap and safe, it's the damn bureaucracy that's expensive.
Let's get real, stop putting up trash, and start boiling water.
