because republicans turned climate change/environmentalism into a cultural wedge issue. It’s cool to be pro-fossil fuels and evil/elitst to be a science nerd. (Elites defintiely do not thrive off fossil fuels at the expense of the rest of us.)
it’s also the height of irony that part of the criticism of wind power is out of concern for birds and whales. Do you idiots really want to take a count of deaths per watt generated? Go right ahead.

They don’t care about facts; I have fought this fight for way too long and they don’t care.
To most anti-progressive/reactionaries/conservatives in the US, windmills represent a “leftist” ideology, they represent an acknowledgement of climate change, and are thus part of the enemy and that’s about as far as it goes. The brain is an amazing tool, it invents stories to reinforce any feeling, even more readily if someone supplies a story, so they cling to the “dead birds” BS because it sounds right and feels good to paint leftists as inconsistent and hateful of the animals they claim to want to protect. It’s not factual, it’s narrative.
If we all got better about trying to fight narratives with new narratives instead of bashing our head against these mindless clams with facts and statistics, we would change the world.
they don’t give a shit about deaths/watt, they just think it’s a fun “gotcha” argument that they think woke lefies can’t rebut, mostly because they won’t be listening to the rebuttal.
The very petroleum companies the conservatives protect were the ones to create all the climate science that proves global warming was going to happen in the first place. It really is bizzarro land.
