"I only mention this because the internet often seems weirdly like high school, made up of about 2000 people, most of whom you don’t know, but whom you see around, and with many of the same personalities popping up at whatever new party you drop in on, and enough cliquishness (or commonality of interest) that you venture off in what you think of as some new direction, and yet discover the same people you run across at Steve Sailer or Unqualified Reservations or Overcoming Bias sitting there on the sofa as you stroll into the room."

Rethinking NIMBY: Why Wind Power Could Lead To New Ways of Defining (and Dealing With) Public Naysaying - Boing Boing - http://www.boingboing.net/2009...
researchers here in the states who theorize that smaller wind projects, with local public investment, would get more support because local people would feel ownership of the project. From Denmark's example, that seems to be true. Hylleberg says that if a developer there wants to put up one wind turbine, he or she has to offer the community a 20% stake. If they want to build a whole wind farm, they have to offer a least one full turbine to the community. The solution to anti-wind power "NIMBY" may simply be expecting opposition, respecting the opponents and dealing with it via proactive communication and community involvement.
