i like wind turbines. o think they look nice inte the landscape.
BTW, another advantage of wind turbines overs big power plants: big power plants produce large amouts of power and polution in one area. that large amount of power will then be chanellized to final consumers over a large area and longer distances. the transport of that energy is allways associated to a loss (Joule' s efect in power lines). each wind turbine produces a quite smaller amount of power (i think it' s about 2 MW per turbine against what, 300 MW to 500 MW from a tipical power plant) wich means you can spread turbines in diferent zones and reduce loss associated to transport.
to stay on topic, and as i said before, if a nuclear power plants exists, use it for its life time- do not dismantle it before time. if they are to be builded now or in a near future time, in my opinion there should be considered alternatives instead like wind, solar, bio-mass, etc...
