I was hoping this was a parody, but I fear it’s not. The impact on views of wind turbines is minimal. Even if you don’t like ‘em, I’m sure you’ll acknowledge that some minor inconvenience is better than long-term environmental damage. Also, wind turbines dont really do that much damage to bird populations: https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science/wind-turbine-kill-birds.htm https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-scienc...

Not everyone agrees with you: http://savetheeaglesinternational.org/new/us-windfarms-kill-10-20-times-more-than-previously-thought.html http://savetheeaglesinternational.org/new/us-windfarms-kill-... My point was that the elites of Martha's Vineyard were able to kill the project, and at least part of that was based on what they look like. Windmills in the distant ocean view are much less impacting of views than ones prominently arrayed across ridge lines. It appears there's one rule for little people and other for elites.
