here's an example of NIMBY that we would probably all agree to.

right now, hydro turbines are all the rage.

they utilize tidal currents to generate electricity. kinda like how windmill farms use wind.

they are green in every respect ... except they happen to chop up aquatic life.

how many people here would allow such devices to be used to generate electricity ... if it meant that a few million striped bass or a good chunk of their forage get turned into chum?

(on the other hand, if it was 10,000 seals ...)
