Nicht ganz klar ob #windkraftgegner meinen Server gehackt haben um kritische Berichte über ihre #NIMBY BIs zu unterdrücken oder ob es der Hacker im Auftrag des FSB waren.

Auf jeden Fall kann man meinen Blog Beitrag jetzt wieder nachlesen: https://sbamueller.com/2025/07/21/ortsverein-guenterstal-und-anti-windkraft-buergerinitative/

Und nein ein #Thoriumreaktor mit geschmolzenem Salz ist keine #alternativefurdeutschland !

Ich habe nochmal aufgeschrieben warum ich den Gastbeitrag der Anti-Wind BI im Günterstäler Tor an sich nicht problematisch finde – wir aber den Quatsch inhaltlich widersprechen müssen.

Und nein wir brauchen keine kleinen AKWs.

Good article, afaict. My goodness this #AusPol policy area is so very complex.

I think i was prolly a pretty staunch #NIMBY in the epoch of [late] 70s - [early] 90s, as i was not aware of any actual nor incipient #HousingCrisis back then, & i simply regarded much urban development as absolute corruption for & by evil developers & pollies, sans all actual genuine social good [Qld's Joh & Hinze; Sydney's Juanita Nielsen murder, being prime examples].

Nowadays, i dunno if i'm yet full-on #YIMBY, but i am far far more sympathetic with this perspective, given the massive social, economic, & ethical problem our shocking HC palpably is.

However, are our pollies... & tbh also enough of our electorate... genuinely up for all the policy, regulatory, legal, & developmental upheaval that is needed? Will we get genuine restructure & expansion of all training & regulatory needs for a massive tradespeeps workforce expansion? Will we get genuine overhaul of all hi-rise building standards & enforcement such that no more Mascot Towers occur again? Will there still be adequate environmental & heritage protection? Will all necessary services be properly & fully funded & delivered?

As a depressed cynical misanthrope, i still very much ha me doots.

Housing - YIMBYs, NIMBYs and mass evictions at gunpoint

@VQuaschning
Hier von letzter Woche die #NIMBY Argumente gegen #WKA.
Es photoshopt halt keiner, wie Reben und Wald bei 2°-3° Temperaturanstieg aussehen werden. Das würde wahrscheinlich als Panikmache gebrandmarkt.

So, some communities in #Maine were like, #NIMBY when a #TrashToEnergy plant was proposed. After all, folks had to deal with air quality issues with the old paper mill in Westbrook for many years (it was still belching smelly shit when I worked at a local library). However, #EcoMaine built the plant, and from what I can tell, they are doing it the right way. Our community signed up for participating in their program years ago, and now there are 20 communities participating. ecomaine has even upgraded their facility to be able to retrieve even more usable metal from the resultant ashes. And they are implementing programs based on Maine policy change, which requires businesses that do a lot of shipping (like Amazon) to make their packaging recyclable and to pay for communities to deal with packaging waste (more about that in another post).

Anyhow, here is more information about ecomaine's #WasteToEnergy plant...

ecomaine’s Waste-to-Energy Power Plant

"Our waste-to-energy #(WTE) plant receives trash identified as #unrecyclable and converts it at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit to energy in the form of electricity. The ecomaine WTE plant processes about 175,000 tons of trash a year and, from that process, generates enough steam to create about 100,000 megawatt-hours of electricity annually.

"That’s enough electricity to power our WTE and recycling facilities, our company’s electric vehicles, plus about 15,000 homes for a year!

"Converting the trash to energy also benefits the communities we serve by reducing its volume by 90 percent, leaving only inert ash to be stored at the landfill site. (There are also statewide economic benefits from WTE plants; read the results of a Maine study -- linked below).

"By reducing the volume of trash by 90%, controlling #pollution, and generating #electricity, waste-to-energy clearly has many benefits. These and more are outlined in a 2021 study by Dr. Marco Castaldi, The Scientific Truth about Waste to Energy Facilities and Quantifiable Benefits They Provide. (Sneak Peek: did you know that areas in the U.S. with waste-to-energy have higher #recycling rates than those without?) "

Other ways people show lack of #empathy is, literally, by keeping people out whether through #NIMBY tactics or building the #wall or #ICE #deportations

Lest you blame the #US for this - remember, it happens in all parts of the world

Selbst war ich nicht in #Günterstal beim “Vortrag” von bekannten #Windkraft Gegnern wie Theo Feger und Prof. Dr. Michael Thorwart, aber ein Korrespondent meines Blogs hat sich die Veranstaltung angetan, die in der Forderung nach Bau von Small Medium Reactors endete!

NIMBYs in Sun Belt cities are doing the same thing that coastal cities did 20-30 years ago. The consequences are looking eerily similar

@peterjelinek Deswegen ist es erstaunlich das es immer noch Personen gibt mit wiederstand zu Windräder. #NIMBY

@larsweisbrod
Hmmm.
Hätte ich vielleicht mal meinen ehemaligen Beinahe-Nachbarn da im Haus links in HH-Harburg fragen sollen.

Am 11. September 2011 habe ich aber nur ganz zivil mit einer Cessna 172 eine Gedenkrunde über dem Atomkraftwerk San Onofre gedreht.

“We are worried about the additional noise, congestion and traffic this would bring to the neighbourhood” can be translated as “we don't like cars so let's not build childcares”.

I wonder if these people understand how crazy they sound and how bad the streets are.

Und immer wieder #NIMBY. Denn der Strom kommt aus der Steckdose und Klimakrise ist woanders. Bis es den eigenen Vorgarten wegspült, dann soll der Staat helfen.

Ich bin für Strompreiszonen und dann hat sich das ganz schnell erledigt mit dem "Gegen-Wind".
