This is especially true considering we seem to produce enough food for 10-12 billion people with current technology. That doesn’t include any more efficient and less intense crops, reduction of animal protein, and urban agriculture to just name a few things we could do for any needed expansion. Plus, food waste is a huge component in what does get to the stores. I know in France there’s been some effort to reduce food waste so that alone might be enough for the near future (excluding reduction of animal protein since that’s still such a huge waste in terms of crop land and I say that as a meat eater lol).

They’re not that noisy. I’ve been near buildings where the windmills are just a couple blocks away and they’re not noisy at least to my terrible ears.

Also, much like housing and water, food should not be a commodity. It would also help if we replaced the land-hungry meat-focused agricultural practices with more localized, veggie-eating based agricultural practices - less land for grazing cattle and growing grain to feed cattle, and more food crops. And I’d love to see more urban farming for local communities in general. One neighborhood in town that has problems with access to grocery stores now has a food forest for use by the community.

There are eight different things I want to say about this all of which I am pretty sure are illegal.
We need a revolutionary period now.

IIRC, Dr. Robert Sapolsky tells a story about a troop of baboons who, um, “removed” all the dominant males, taking out all the bullies and leaving all the nice ones. The agent may have been disease. As he told it, it worked out pretty well.

It was TB in the meat left in the safari cabin dumpsters. It initially made him upset since he spent four years following the troupe in question. But the results that apparently are still going strong in that troupe are more revealing as to the question of “human nature” than some folks want to accept.

“Well, we used up this place, we’re going to need a new one. So, moving then?”
“Yes, let’s move. Borneo it is.”

I am certain there was no political influence on this decision at all. The denier-in-chief would not do such a thing, no, surely he would not.
