There is such a tower 50 km south of my house. We see it brightly even at this distance.
There is a stretch of road near the tower that is uncomfortable to drive on during the day, the tower is so bright. I honestly can imagine that many a child has hurt themselves staring at it, it is extremely eye catching and there's really nothing else to look at in that desert.
I'm all for green power (I have an electric car that I feed from roof-mounted solar) but these towers should be very far from population centers.
