I think the site Andy mentioned on is ugly and polluting the atmosphere as with the one at Ironbridge. Some of them though have a great architecture of their own!

But you could say the same about power stations as well (about them being in the landscape). Living in the shadow of Sellafield, I dread to think about all the pollution/radiation it has put out over the years. I suppose The Windmill is the way to go.

The ones out at sea are not too bad as far as spoiling the landscape goes. I think I prefere them to the nucliar or coal and oil power stations though. They may not look brilliant, but they are not creating greenhouse gasses. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

They're not as noisy as you might think - the gentle humming sound is quieter than motorway traffic passing nearby My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Here's a picture of that country between Knaresborough and Skipton in N. Yorkshire in Yorkshire Dales N.P. They don't look so bad up on the hilltops.

We have a power plant close to Oxford, in Didcot. You go to the beauty spots and all you can see in one direction are three huge puffing chimneys. The only place I have seen the wind turbines is a place called Livermore in California, they are everywhere. I guess it's the lesser of two evils. I agree with Sue, Andy does make a good point and it is in fact a better solution than power plants. But it'll take some getting used to. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

That Peter for example......Yuck, and no I wasn't always as mean (from an ealier post somewhere) it's umn, ah, it's him that did it!! He made me this way. Thinks.....wonder if I could make a claim against him somehow? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
