  You mean there's actually "environmentalists" who still oppose wind power? Are these the same ones supporting nuclear energy?

    Technically, I don't think they really ARE environmentalists.
    
    That is, they are not protesting based upon damage to the environment such as animal endangerment or destruction of old-growth forests, or the like.
    
    They are protesting on aesthetics.
    
    The use "environmentalist" as a banner to make it sound like they have a point beyond "not in my backyard."
    
    And yes, some of the alleged environmentalists who oppose wind do support nuclear.

      You definitely need to call them on their bullshit (Which you may be doing; I'll read your blog in a minute or two).

        They are not enviromentalists. They're big oil representatives. Understandably there is a need for looking out for economics, bird migration patterns, etc. BUT I would rather have a mix of wind, solar, methane gas, etc as far as renwewable energy goes.
