Anyone else find it ironic that such opposition would exist in a country
that is famous for its windmills?

Let me tell you having a windmill close to your house is no fun.

I'm living about 200yards from one(the classic kind).
If the sun is low and that thing is running it looks like the lights
are being switched on and off at 1Hz cycles.

They make good nav points though.
