A crash course in changing the world.
Dear Evoke Agents,
Let’s look at other sources of the problem,
Let’s now have a look now at Wind power, Not in My backyard!
NIMBY or Nimby is an acronym for not in my back yard. The term (or the derivative Nimbyism) is used pejoratively to describe opposition by residents to a proposal for a new development close to them. Opposing residents themselves are sometimes called Nimbies. The new project being opposed is generally considered a benefit for many but has negative side-effects on many local residents who want it to be located elsewhere. The term was coined in the 1980s by British politician Nicholas Ridley, who was Conservative Secretary of State for the Environment. Projects likely to be opposed include but are not limited to wind turbines,…
This is exactly the case for wind power generation. Most would agree with the idea of a clean way to produce energy, a sustainable approach, to reduce dependence on fossil sources, to secure electricity domestically, and so on. But many Nimbies still don’t want to see wind turbines in their area.
Please have a look at You Tube:

Some solutions already exist, even if only for a portion of the problem. But short term view and one’s Nimbyism makes it more difficult to adapt.
So here we are, in need of more sustainable solution!
I will be back later with more ideas to help reducing the negative impacts of peak oil.
For now, let’s look at more problems! We are still in the learning process!
