I think if the proper question is asked, you get the right answer. The issue is whether people understand what is the proper question.

The proper question is, "would you rather live near solar panels and wind turbines, or coal power plants?". Because someone is going to have to live near either.

The wrong question is if you merely ask, "do you want to live near a wind turbine?" Of course no one does.

It's like asking a toddler, "do you want to eat the broccoli or the peas?" Then they choose the right answer.
