That article keeps talking about 'landscape', but to me landscape is a completely manmade thing anyway, it depends on how you manage the land. Even landscapes that seem very wild aren't really at all, like the upland moors.
What's more important surely is the biodiversity. And windfarms don't have to affect that, they are just little towers. Stuff can go on around them pretty much as usual. Which is completely different to how biofuels and dams and suchlike work.
so I like windfarms me. And you can stick them out at sea. And if you get fed up of them you can take them down.
And they're a darn sight less damaging than burning fossil fuels. And you don't have to wonder what to do with any waste for the next 10.000 years.
