Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion? (lemmy.world)

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.

Why the heck would you build that on residential area anyway? SimCity taught me since I was a kid that industrial factories and windmills shouldn't be built beside houses

I love telling this story. I lived on the second story apartment above a restaurant, behind the restaurant was this shed. One sat morning, very hung over, I am awaken at sunrise with a bright bedroom. Wtf? Look outside and turns out the shed now has solar panels that just happened to catch the light at sunrise and reflect it into my window.

I invested in better curtains.
