Living in OK, I can tell you they are the biggest eye-sore you can think of... in every direction they loom... cool looking at first, but a constant distraction from the natural beauty of the land.

Plus I can't stand intermittent energy for the grid. I'm cool with a homeowner using pico turbines if he thinks it'll lower his dependency on the grid (power bill). But even that situation assumes the grid power is ready for him whenever it's needed (when there's no wind).
I can identify. Up in north central Kansas they are everywhere. An awful eyesore to the beautiful, natural prairie, which don’t generate squat for electricity unless the wind blows. It’s not blowing this morning.
