I remember reading somewhere (probably my high school textbook) that one of the reasons people don't like wind power being built is they cause visual pollution.

In my opinion, I think it would be pretty cool to just look out my window and see a giant windmill there, the opposite of visual pollution.

I have actually heard the "original person" complaining about this... but the original person is also the kind of person who wants a picture-perfect ocean view every single day. Wind turbines? Visual pollution. Ships passing by? Visual pollution. Their neighbor has too many holiday decorations up? Visual pollution.

They just genuinely expect the rest of civilization around them to comply to their demands for a fantasy-perfect oceanside existence.

Sounds like my dad. We don't talk anymore. Remember his irrational anger to the idea that other people were using HIS highway when he was driving on it. Also he had a war against a neighbor who sublet to his cousin "cause it is zoned for single family and a cousin is a different family". Just fucking admit you don't want a brown family on your block, I would honestly respect honest bigotry more.
