Hey, it's like this in Washington too! Not a windmill in sight near Seattle, but head East and you'll see them grouped along mountain ridges by the dozen. It does seem very windy out there compared to the coast, though.
It's funny, people seem to dislike the windmills even as they house military firing ranges, hydroelectric dams, nuclear reactors, and similar on the same land. It's less funny that the government coerced people who were resistant to signing treaties or selling land to cede the Columbia River Valley for those things, but the wind turbines - those seem to really bother people.
In fairness, they do sort of remind me of Simon Stålenhag's art[0]. It's a little bit eerie how they loom in the distance and light up in unison at night.
