Don’t get me wrong I’m 100% behind renewable energy but do you seriously not understand someone saying ‘hey I like this beautiful natural scene without machinery all over?’
I think my wording was a bit wrong. I do see the appeal, but I don’t really see a big difference. Either there’s nothing at the horizon, or there are ships and oil rigs, or there are offshore windparks. It really doesn’t matter, to me at least.
I live in the northern part of Germany. North Frisia consists solely of farming plots and nothing else. It’s such a boring landscape. Everything is flat and unnatural. Nowadays we have shitloads of windmills in that area and it makes it a bit more interesting to the eye.
Before the largest things on the horizon were trees and perhaps the odd church or water tower. These windmills tower over anything there is on the countryside.
The point I’m trying to make here is that our definition of tall has significantly shifted over the last 20/30 years. E.g. windmill 5km away is visually still twice as high as the church tower which is 500 meters away from you.
I kinda like it too, I don’t t see the appeal of not seeing anything on the horizon.
