Actually, I'd dispute that ... one of the most unnerving features of the turbines on Tug Hill (Lowville area) was the lack of anything else industrial - indeed, the lack of anything else - of similar size in the vicinity. Against a city skyline, turbines will look far more appropriate.

Then again, I rather support the effort at Lackawanna. First, the wind is directly off the lake, so it is much less transient than wind over land here; second, the area is already industrial and accustommed to noise, vibration, etc; third, the land is already poisoned for other use. Might as well put something green on it. This is one of the few turbine installations I can at least look at and NOT shake my head.

Then again, that's just my opinion :)
