Perhaps I've just missed it, but I have yet to see an environmentalist group promote a specific location as appropriate for a windfarm.
They are all in favor of them in the abstract, but invariably come up with reasons why a specific location is inappropriate.
Like their opposition to "final disposal" of nuclear waste. Anywhere that is suggested is opposed, on the theory that perhaps the location isn't absolutely perfect. Which only results in the dangerous stuff remaining in temporary storage locations which are infinitely worse.
"The perfect is the enemy of the good."
Environmentalists generally demand perfection, no trade-offs allowed. Which, of course, allows them to remain ideologically pure. They refuse to muck about in the real world where real choices have to be made.
I am sure they wouldn't mind if they were built in Revere or Chelsea. They would never be caught dead in Chelsea!
You are so right. They complain but never have an answer to the problem.
It is a key tenet of being a liberal. You are allowed to talk all you want, say whatever you want, be taken seriously and so on.
As soon as action is required, you are allowed to have a million and one reasons why nothing should be done...yet. Need to talk some more, discuss it more, set up more meetings and so on. Everything is so nuanced and complicated.
And we need to be sure nobody is inconvenienced, offended or has their feelings hurt.
