Examples
Modern society loves to tout the wind farm as a beacon of sustainability, conveniently ignoring the fact that our local horizon now looks like an abandoned pinwheel factory owned by a shell company in a different time zone.
The town council promised that the new wind farm would bring economic prosperity, though residents are still waiting to see if that prosperity comes in the form of lower bills or just more blinking red lights at 3 AM.
In the ongoing duel between fossil fuel titans and renewable proponents, the wind farm stands as the giant, metallic lightning rod for every local zoning committee argument in the country.
