There's one thing for certain, a vista with wind towers is preferable to a dead, overheated planet.


True, but I'm not sure it needs to be reduced to one choice or the other.

Part of the issue is that people in some parts of the country want electricity without having to see the generating equipment (in whatever form), so they're quite happy with the "out of sight, out of mind" option that comes from placing these things as far away as possible from their own homes.

Personally, I think each village, town and city should have the means of producing the energy it wants to use in its own backyard. That would focus people's minds on what they really want. I'd rather have some turbines (or other form of generating equipment) near to my suburban home than see swathes of unspoilt wilderness used for my convenience.
