Hahaha ornaments sellotaped to shelvesSeriously though, it takes just one stupid, ignorant person to kick off campaigns like this.
Going back a while to the late 90s when everyone in our area was getting FREE interwebs from a cable underground (hell, I'm not very techy and can't remember the details) except our street.
It turns out that the NIMBY next door objected to the road being dug up to lay said cable, garnered some support from other residents and the application was denied.
A year later he complained to me that he had to pay for his internet connection and tie up his phone line while others in the town got it free and it didn't interfere with their phone lines.
I told him to go to the council offices and see who objected to the cable being laid and to go round their house and shout at them.
Some people just don't like any sort of change.

*face palms* Some of the "literature" handed out by the against-team was quite alarmingly luddite
One flyer comprised of a photo of a windturbine on fire (god knows how rare that is)
With the words DO YOU WANT THIS??!! underneath

So the council omitted to inform everyonethat the wind turbines they wanted to install would be ON FUCKING FIRE?

Of courseIf there's no wind, the turbine's cooling systems start to fail and the reactor starts going into meltdown.
