I never understood how wind turbines "ruin the view". They look sick af, eat shit
Yeah, we recently drove through Ottawa in Canada and there were wind turbines everywhere. We loved it. They're beautiful.
I think one of the main complains are the shadows of the blades. Imagine your whole house or office flickering for half the day. Thats why they are build further away from buildings.
So how is that the main complaint if it never affects anyone?
Because we plan ahead and build them further away.
I think the point they are trying to make is "how is it a problem people complain about if we thought ahead and stopped it from happening to begin with?".
Yeah, I got nothing for that one chief.
I once visited a wind turbine assembly hall where they had a huge turbine standing right outside, casting blade shadows every few seconds. They said you stop noticing them after the third day.
Yes, they were all in rural areas. Which is fine. That's why we have transmission lines.
IMO they look pretty ugly and visually mar the landscape. They do so less than power plants and pollution and are a necessary evil for modern society to function. They look cool because of what they stand for and because they are novel (and because they're new and clean, generally).
I do worry about what will happen when they are decommissioned, as there are currently no ways to recycle the blades due to the way they are manufactured.
Depends on the type, vertical spinning ones can be pretty short and look neat, like a bunch of alien pinwheel toys.
