As someone who comes from an area, that houses some of the biggest offshore wind farms in Europe I can only laugh about people complaining about how ugly wind turbines are. Its just a matter of getting used to it. Here when you drive the right roads at night you can see hundreds of turbines blinking simultaneously. Luckily they realised, that its kind of not necessary for the turbines to blink the whole night, so newer turbines don’t blink continuously.
This ugly tall wind turbine is build between existing ugly small wind turbines. There’s no need to make it pretty.
People are used to the ugly small ones already.
Besides this, it’s built at an old open-pit lignite mining. If you ever have seen such a spot - which I doubt - you will be happy to see this wind turbine. It looks much better than the pit.
How dare you! The small wind turbines look cute! They are NOT ugly!
Hah, you must not have dealt with NIMBYs. They will say better to just have an empty pit rather than an ugly wind turbine that looks like a horror show character.
Yeah but where do you want to get your electricity from?
Wind&Solar is the only option without massive climate and environmental pollution, dependence on autocrat countries and international shipping, nuclear waste and danger of critical sabotage and possible terrorist attacks.
Getting used to wind turbines is kinda worth the upside of having clean, reliable, cheap and independent energy.
One of the arguments against wine turbines was that they were ugly. Somehow those white lily flower looking wind turbines looked ugly to some people.
Now, this one does look ugly. Just make it pretty, it’ll make things easier to sell to the nay sayers and the fence sitters.

As someone who lived close to an active open lignite pit, I’m happy to live near wind turbines now.
They may or may not be ugly, you get used to them.
What I care for more is the fact that I don’t have lung problems and cough half the year.
What if you didn’t have to get used to them?
