I'm sure these folks also want an end to international shipping, since those injure and kill whales all the time.

Social media is the biggest farce. Giving voice to idiots worldwide.
- And yet, here we are
  
  Where else would I have a voice?

Why would anyone be opposed to wind power in general? I can only fathom being opposed to a specific installation, not the whole concept....
- Because they make money from fossil fuel electric generation. Wind and solar basically generate whenever possible once installed, which displaces fossil fuel use. So people opposed push all kinds of nonsense to keep the money flowing
- Nuclear investors freaking out that maybe we won't build hundreds of plants when they invested heavily into the industry
  
  Ah yes, the investors of the... checks notes power source with the least investment? Wait, what? Surely there's much clearer suspects? Did you read the article even? It's the fossil fuel industry. It's always the fossil fuel industry.
