Our local middle school has a wind turbine. The energy generated goes back to the grid and the school gets a credit. Monitors in the science classrooms show how much energy is being captured.
I like that the design is different. You may not find it beautiful, buy IMHO it looks more like a sculpture than the typical multi-armed windmills like the ones pictured in previous posts.
So while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I do believe that it is possible to make these windmills more visually appealing. I hope that we'll see more and more windmills that look more like art while also harnessing a natural energy source.

Ironically, they were blamed for "stirring" up the forum. Yet, this thread is proof that when you point a finger at someone else, you have three pointing back at you.DaveS007 wrote:I liked it better when the Banned Brothers of the VIOL were allowed to speak their mind... ie.

What the banned brothers are guilty of, IMO, is being very good at arguing their position. I liked it better when they were here also. That is probably due, at least in part, to being open-minded to other's opinions as long as they have a basis, that is.
