The biggest problem with nearby wind turbines is not the view but the _noise_. They make an extremely annoying continuous whumping sound. Source: am a big fan of renewables, don't mind seeing windmills, but know and visit 'green' people who live near them. Nobody near them loves them, no matter how 'green' they aspire to be. Of course, offshore makes the whole sound problem go away. I've seen plenty of near-shore farms, big stacks of the things laid out in a grid, and they are not even bad looking.
