I know it makes no sense. There's even an artist's rendition of what that might look like on the site, and you know it's not based on reality... So it makes no sense at all. But I find it so, so very sad. __________________

I find it sad, too, but also very scary...

I've only ever seen wind turbines away from populated areas, so I don't really know how to even begin to address that. Of course, we tend to have more open spaces around these parts...
But if the noise levels can be adjusted, than they probably should work to do that. __________________

I'm not exactly well-informed about where all these wind farms are located worldwide, but I do know that I've heard of that noise problem once in a while. __________________

I've never heard of the noise problem but, like I said, they're not near population centres here. And, for the rest of the world... I guess I'm just ignorant of some stuff sometimes. I don't mind owning up to that.
But I wouldn't be surprised that a company wouldn't think of working to be better neighbours unless they're made to. It wouldn't be the first time. Of course, that's assuming the noise volumes can be brought down. Who knows? It sounds to me, though I know none of the particulars, like putting the wind turbines there was a decision the city imposed on its constituents. And now the people aren't pleased and the city didn't anticipate this problem because they were more worried about job creation and new companies coming in and so forth. So now they may have a problem that has no solution. __________________

Linked to the whole nuclear energy debate topic, questions were being raised how we'd plan on getting away from nuclear plants whereas noone wants to have alternative power generation practically nowhere. __________________

People will complain about anything. They probably work for oil companies or something. It's wise to look into alternative fuels.

Well, depends how much noise we're talking about, no?

Yeah. I have driven by a wind farm you can hear them. It might be annoying to hear that all day long.

I really do think the city tried to pass a fast one on its residents and got caught with side effects they hadn't anticipated because none of the people who made that decision leave anywhere near the site they chose to have the turbines.

I like the idea in the sense that I am lazy and like an easy answer.
But I have a mother who has Parkinson's disease and so I am quite aware that taking medication to solve a problem usually creates two more that you need to take medication to solve, which create two more, etc. And weight loss, let's face it, is a life-long issue. It's not like you could take one pill (for however long) and be done with it. __________________

By the way Sunny - I love this title .
Weight loss is such a touchy issue. To do it in a healthy way is alot of hard work. Some people aren't able to lose weight to where they are happy with themselves. We all want that quick fix. __________________

I'm not even sure what the original reference is to, to be honest, but I love the movie Dying Young and that's where I got the title from.
As for weight lost, it is a super touchy issue. Sometimes, weight gain has physiological reasons. Certain medications lead to weight gain. Glandular issues can lead to weight gain (and weight loss). And sometimes there's just bad habits to redress. ] And yet other times there's a plethora of emotional and psychological issues to understand. And no pill in the world will fix the issue when weight gain or loss is a symptom of an underlying issue. __________________
