Do wind turbines damage the landscape?
This is first and foremost a highly subjective issue that varies from person to person.
But be aware that the siting of wind turbines is not random. It is subject to very strict standards regarding distances from urban areas and isolated homes, as well as compliance with existing infrastructure lines and landscape integration requirements. Before a permit application is submitted, an environmental impact assessment is carried out by an independent and accredited consultancy to ensure that the proposed wind farm is integrated into the landscape as harmoniously as possible.
Photomontages are even produced to provide an accurate visual representation of the impact of wind turbines on the existing landscape.
