I detest wind farms. They're stark and utilitarian and I dislike them in the same way I dislike pylons. But the problem with wind turbines is worse for me in at least six respects:
Unlike with pylon lines, there are realistic alternatives.
They have to be sited in exposed areas, increasing their obtrusiveness.
They're taller than pylons.
They move. Moving things catch the eye more than stationary ones.
Pylons, in the main, are a fait accompli, whereas wind farms are happening now.
The amount of electricity they generate is negligible.
