I remember reading somewhere (probably my high school textbook) that one of the reasons people don’t like wind power being built is they cause visual pollution.

In my opinion, I think it would be pretty cool to just look out my window and see a giant windmill there, the opposite of visual pollution.

    The strobe effect is a thing but it really doesn’t impact a lot of people since you know windmills are usually not by apartment buildings. Being very kind to that point of view seeing things that are new can put you out of sorts.

    Personally I think they look cool, that doesn’t mean I can’t see other POVs. Still, people will adapt when they get more common and frankly I am not into NIMBY anyway.
