Aesthetics

The aesthetics of a wind turbine is a divisive and highly subjective issue. Some people find them unacceptably intrusive whilst others see them as graceful structures of civil pride.

Whether you love them or hate them, wind turbines are no different from other tall manmade structures, such as electricity pylons.

We don't find opposition to pylons because they are accepted as part of the landscape. Turbines should be viewed in this context.

Climate change – unless tackled effectively now – will have a far more severe and widespread impact on the landscape than wind farms.
