Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion? (self.asklemmy)

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.

Would suggest a driving trip on I65 just north of Lafayette Indiana..

It is a flat boring patch of rural farm land just like the rest of rural indiana, but they added hundreds of wind turbines to the fields that stretch as far as the eye can see. It is truly a marvel to look at..

In essence, i drive through rural indiana every so often.. i can definitively confirm that the section with windmills is far more interesting looking than the rest.

Yeah I drove from central ohio to Chicago once. The thing that struck me most was how little renewables ohio had. The wind farms were exactly what rural America needed to look fine.

But yeah also I advise against driving through rural Indiana because you still have to be there to do it
