I remember reading somewhere (probably my high school textbook) that one of the reasons people don’t like wind power being built is they cause visual pollution.

In my opinion, I think it would be pretty cool to just look out my window and see a giant windmill there, the opposite of visual pollution.

    I don’t mind them and lived in the midst of two wind “farms”. They aren’t usually clumped tightly together so you don’t see many until you’re out on the road.

    Personally found them kind of calming to look at as part of the backdrop when it was nice outside and I could go out and listen to music or radio and just unplug. Personal opinions vary wildly and some people will hate them just for existing just as some people will find a mural or new building an eyesore, they don’t have a tangible reason and usually they just don’t want change, ontop of there being no shortage of easily disproveable conspiracy theories about turbines they cling to because someone said they were bad once and they can’t be bothered to fact check anything that doesn’t already support their opinion.

    So ultimately I don’t mind them anymore than a water tower or grain bin/silo, they are just part of my skyline now and it didn’t take long to get used to them.
