Wind farms are just so darn attractive, like scars on the desert.

I think wind turbines are kinda cool. I saw a bunch when I was driving across the US of A. Pretty massive and impressive to look at if I may say so myself
I wonder how much lubricating oil those suckers bleed through in a year though. My guess would be a lot, but I don't know how much their fans weigh
That said, it would totally suck to live next to them though. Totally should build those things in places that no one cares about like the desert and the entire midwest

They should give them a much more sexy design then it would be okay.
I like the look of the giant satelite dishes and observatories... if they came up with something cool like that for turbines then more people wouldn't mind seeing them.

If you like modern high tech scenery then wind turbines are fine. If you like a natural or rustic look then wind turbines screw up your view. So of course they always try to put them in natural or rustic settings.

They have wind turbines up all over Europe and they look nothing like that monstrosity. I would drive down the roads and see huge wind towers and it felt like I was driving in the future. It looked amazing.

Believe it or not that is the area leading into Palm Springs.

High-rise buildings should all be made to incorporate roof-mounted turbines and all should be made to replace 1/2 the existing window glass with solar panels.
It's the cities that use the most power, make them adapt.

WI has a 1250' setback rule. Sounds like a lot?
Watch this short report to see if it is.

What an idiot installation, right next to a house, virtually on top of it.
Of course that's not going to work well.
I'm sure pro-oil and coal people cream themselves to these kinds of biased, stupid reports.

What I can't understand is their criteria for choosing these sites, they were talking about using the lakebed we launch off of, it is used by many other groups and brings much needed money into Lucerne Valley, luckily the water table was too high. The one down south near the border is having problems with harming wildlife and being on an Indian cremation site.
