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.

    A little bit, in the same way that any man made structure does. But they’re quite peaceful to look at and compared to a nuclear or coal plant they’re way better to look at.

    I wouldn’t like to see them in an area of outstanding beauty, but I’m cool with them anywhere else.

    Slight nitpick: they’re wind turbines, not windmills. Windmills are used to grind things down, like wheat into flour.
