Some valid critique against them is that the noise they make, make it difficult for people to live near them, or that they scare off the wild life population due to their noise. However, I wonder how much wild life will be destroyed when the earth ultimately explodes due to the use of other energy sources

What noise? I was in a rural area taking this photo of one and even then, this close you had to listen carefully to hear anything: https://ibb.co/rmQRmyZ

You know how we tend to lose hearing on some frequencies as we grow older? It’s the same thing here basically, wind turbines are known to produce low frequency infrasound, which some people (but probably most won’t) hear. It’s doesn’t seem perfectly clear how these sounds affect wild life. From a quick Google search on “wind turbines effects on wild life” I found an abundance of scientific articles touching on this topic

I guess all the cows in the paddock right next to them were immune?

Yeah, just think about what would happen to the wild life population, if men just build unnatural constructions all over the world that destroys existing nature and around them there would be strange noise like from tools that are burning fossil fuel to create small explosions just to move something.

I’m always wondering about that. I have never been close to one, so i don’t know whatkind of noise they make and how loud it actually is. But in videos where people are next to it, it never picks up anything. Saying they are unnatural is just absurd, just look around what we did to this planet, non of it is “natural”. If these assholes find a better solution, they can start complaining
