I feel similarly. For example, when I see wind farms it gives me hope that we are moving towards more sustainable fuels. It also makes me feel like I've lived long enough to see the future.

With that said, I think we should have honest conversations about the benefits vs. the impacts, but also realize nothing is stagnant, not even nature.

I don't have the answers here, I a afraid, but not having at least the broader discussion might also not help (not sure what is already happening there, though).
