&gt; Additionally it looks to on-shore sites primarily in the Midwest where it&#x27;s really flat and so these monster turbines could be seen for miles. I would certainly hope people are cool with it considering how green a power source it is, but I thought it was a bit odd that such an in-depth piece left out one of the biggest obstacles to wind power growth.<p>Farmers I&#x27;ve spoken to absolutely love turbines; they receive a lease payment annually for each one on their property.<p>Now, if we&#x27;re going to complain about &quot;eyesores&quot; through the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Oklahoma, perhaps we could address the _actual deaths_ that coal causes first.
