In reply to the discussion: Wind turbines are such a blight on the landscape [View all]Blanks
(4,835 posts)19. It is my understanding...
That wind farms are very often prevented by environmental groups; is that not the case?
I don't really like the idea of huge wind farms either. Just because other things are uglier doesn't make them 'good' necessarily.
I'd prefer more small scale windmills, individual or group windmills; matched with pv cells and integrated into urban environments more seamlessly.
I'd like to get away from the idea that everyone is dependent on a huge corporation for all of their energy. Especially now that there are smaller wind units and pv cells are getting to a point where there is a reasonable ROI.
It certainly would be a huge boost to the economy.
