    Around Palm Springs CA there are a lot of turbines. They do dominate the landscape but then again so does the interstate and all the buildings.

        I wasn’t trying them and didn’t think your post was attacking them. Just sort of a general observation. But I see your point

        @mattblaze It’s often challenging to distinguish dogwhistling from “just making a comment”.

        I was reacting to the commentary more than the photo. And from Australia, where we get a lot of “look at this ghastly blight” discussion of wind farms. Hence the reminder that visual pollution might be annoying but air pollution kills and maims.

        I suspect your mental context was “this is a cool photo” but “conquering the landscape” isn’t a positive or even neutral framing.

          @moz@fosstodon.org I wish you luck in your future efforts to save yourself from the embarrassment of making completely unwarranted assumptions.

            @mattblaze@federate.social I obviously misunderstood your comment as a request for explanation. I didn’t mean to upset you. I’m sorry for doing that…
