Nice or ugly?
It seems to me most objections to windmills are because "they blot the landscape".
However, remember when satellite television was a new thing, people were objecting to 'ugly' satellite dishes? Now hardly anyone is bothered about them, 'cos we are used to seeing them. I am sure people used to object to tv aerials on roofs as well.
I quite like windmills on the hills... they remind me of Teletubbies http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/5269/embarassut9.gif
I don't mind them.
There's a huge one about 40+ miles away from where I live - I think it looks nice and modern.
I look forward to the "wind tax".

I like both! :D
We can see some offshore wind farms from where we live if you get high enough I think they are beautiful, ethereal, serene.
