 Some people see this and think it's ugly oh no what have they done to the scenery. I see this and I think "nice, this is the solarpunk future I want to live in, this is fucking gangster, we milk the sun and slow down the winds".

 I’m always drawn to wind farms, their epic proportions contrasted against the flat landscapes and added bonus they capture energy! It’s nice to have different views/options! 
 When I was young and green my thoughts were the same. Meanwhile I prefer energy made from stardust from supernovae in massive concrete citadels. More reliable, more efficient, more friendly to environment. #thereisnotenoughnuclearonnostr 
 If they don't force me to build it on my propery or pay for it ... IDFC 
 Wish it were like K-Pax and we could siphon all the energy we needed from light alone.

 Agreed.  Decentralized fission is more badass, and doesn't give a fuck about weather. 
 I always found it fascinating rather than repulsive.

 Infrastructure is generally beautiful, except windmills which, where I live, convey central planning, theft, corporate grift, resource waste, statism, and pollution.  Nothing free or beautiful about them.
