It refers to a male cousin that is NOT in the same paternal line, so maybe not too uncommon?

It’s difficult to consider them pollution even if we were to accept the subjective opinion on displeasing aesthetics.

The pollution we’re all concerned about tends to be:

• Physically harmful
• Difficult to confine/localize/avoid/reverse
• An externality the economy doesn’t sufficiently account for
• A burden that’s unevenly/unfairly distributed across society

Even light pollution, which is arguably barely physically harmful, has all of the remaining qualities (or nearly) for sure.

If these qualities even apply wind generators at all, they do so very weakly. They can be moved/unbuilt, the “free market” is pricing them cheaper by the day, and if you really don’t like looking at them, it’s not impractical to avoid them.

Technically, anything can be “hacked”, but that’s the same kind of technically as “any car can be broken into”.

Just like there are ways to mitigate getting your car broken into, there are ways to mitigate getting your system compromised.

Maybe have ocean voyaging ships (e.g. container ships) do controlled release of brine through their journey?

Though probably no way of achieving this via current economic and legal systems. Even if attempted today, ships would probably be incentivized to dump the entire payload the moment they cross into internal waters.

Sounds like an externality that should be paid for as these things are manufactured

What? My intuition is there’s always gotta be some equivalent nicer refactor that could do away with such an awkward construct.

In what kind of situation would that be totally unavoidable?

That route already exists today as “the web”, where the “latest” JavaScript source is downloaded and JIT-ed by browsers. That ecosystem is also not the greatest example of stable and secure software.
