The Issue
Wind farms have been set up across the country, generating enormous amounts of renewable energy for the citizens of The Alexanderians. However, there are some who feel that they cause more problems than they solve.
The Debate
"Hideous eyesores!" roars Jack Chicago, founder of the 'Not Within Eyesight Of My Backyard!' pressure group. "All I wanted when I retired was a little cottage in the country; somewhere to pursue my hobby in watercolors - but no, the hippies just had to spoil it for everyone didn't they?! This place was beautiful! Green fields and perfect blue skies! Not anymore, though! These unnatural monstrosities are ruining my damn view! They should be taken down and scrapped!"
"Oh, cry me a river," grumbles Lauren Woolf, senior maintenance engineer of the local wind farm. "Just one of these wind turbines can power over a thousand homes each year and with only a minute fraction of the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels! These people are literally in favour of doing more harm to the environment they're supposedly 'protecting' from wind farms! It's beyond hypocrisy and very, very selfish. These ignorant villagers should be ashamed of themselves!"
"Perhaps we're just putting them in the wrong place?" asks Xu Christensen, another engineer. "We should be building wind farms out at sea! Strong uninterrupted winds and no local residents to disturb! Sounds like the perfect solution, if you ask me. Setting them up and maintaining them's going to cost a bomb of course but... well, it's worth it right?"
I'm thinking about taking option 3 but my tax rate is high enough already, so I want to know what option 1 does.
