As renewable energy becomes more widespread in the United States, large and bipartisan majorities of Americans say they wouldn’t mind fields of solar panels and wind turbines being built in their communities, according to a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll.

    Solar farms I haven’t thought much about; they seem innocuous. Wind farms look cool and I’d be happy to live near one.

      Wind turbines are noisy. You probably wouldn’t mind them in view, but you don’t want to live too close. The owners don’t want you to live too close either: while it almost never happens, if a blade falls off and it only kills some corn or a cow people don’t care too much, but if it destroys their house or kills a person they get mad.
