I quite like the look of a modern wind turbine - saw a great collection of about 10 near Granada in Spain a week or so ago and they really fitted in to the terrain somehow - I liked them.

BUT

I can see why some people object, so why not just put the things way out at sea? Cover old oil rigs in the things, put them on large pontoons etc etc etc - no one is going to get NIMBY-ish if the nearest one is 30 miles off shore.

        data point: "China in 2000 accounted for almost 15 percent of emissions, but its per capita emissions were less than one-sixth that of the United States." - pwokenyaw - 12/9/2005 12:42:43 AM
