Poetry in motion

Personally, I think that wind turbines are beautiful. Simple, pure motion, harnessing nature itself to provide us with power. I can't understand how anyone could think that these towers are ugly! The are noiseless and don't emit fumes, radiation, EM energy, etc. and given Cleveland's whopping week's worth of sunshine in the dead of winter... They are currently one of the best choices for Cleveland in terms of renewable energy. Maybe if we painted the turbines to match the surrounding landscape, or the lake...
