There's all the same waste products being dumped into the atmosphere during the production of the entire turbine itself, it's not entirely different. And you didn't address the environmental damage to the oceans. this case is specifically greenlighting off-shore windfarms. Iif this was on land, i wouldn't care what people do with their own money and resources. But it's got serious implications for whales, of which th…
> There's all the same waste products being dumped into the atmosphere during the production of the entire turbine itself, it's not entirely different. Those are also tiny marginal percentages relative to the amount of fossil fuels that are saved, even if everything is constructed from virgin materials instead of recycled. > But it's got serious implications for whales, of which there's a decreasing amount of.

you've not properly accounted for anything in support of your own argument through anything other than anecdotes and insults
given i havent provided data, ive certainly not provided insults
there's the cement to hold the turbine in place, the production of the turbine, the making of the materials that go into it, and the transportation of everything in this chain of events
even the mining of the materials has environmental impacts that aren't easily quantifiable, you've simply peaked through a door that most people can't realistically walk through
i have a hard time believing you've somehow accounted for all of these things in privileged enough manner to go around calling other people stupid
there's all sorts of environmental impacts that are simply difficult to calculate
and whales are a big topic, as the same people making the wind turbines are the ones whose overfishing are hurting the population (the chinese). should providing money for their economy via the purchase of wind turbines effect the number of whales being hunted, then what's the difference? the changing pH isn't as big a deal as people make it out to be, and it's not widely consistent across the entire ocean either, none of this is simple enough to just brush off
