Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

But don’t windmills kill birds and cause cancer and make the view from my golf course unsightly? Thanks, Obama

Don't forget they annoy whales and make people stop eating bacon.

At some point, there will be a serious effort to put offshore wind on Lake Michigan. I fully expect to see idiots on Xhitter saying it's going to kill all the whales.

OMG halal windmills where can I get them?

[–] formergijoe 2 points 2 months ago

Well, Crooked Joelryma is going to make sure that these will be everywhere you better believe it!

Maybe we can get Trump to suggest we use the windmills to kill the birds and feed the birds to the Haitians to stop them stealing pets.

I'd like to see more pumped water reservoirs making use of the strip mining pits. Most of the damage and work is already done, might as well make the most of it.

You would still need to build another reservoir at the upper elevation, and would need enough vertical distance between the upper and lower reservoir.
