some of these images have kind of bizarre charm, but the effect on the environment seems rather terrifying...
Yeah, climate change caused by fossil fuels is terrifying
you seem to have trouble understanding written text. neither this thread, the photos or my comment is about fossil fuels.
and there are other options than your false dichotomy presents.
What are these effects on the environment you speak of? From the pictures you posted it seems like you are talking about aesthetics, which is completely different and subjective. A metal pole in the ground has virtually 0 environmental impact, as evidenced by the very pictures you've shared. They're still beautiful, pristine places - now imagine if each of them had an oil refinery or coal burning plant instead.
You seem to have trouble understanding critical sarcasm. Which I used because being "worried" about the environmental impact of renewable energy is extremely disingenuous - almost to a parody level when combined with the pictures you provided.
