> Who wants to have a wind turbine in their back yard?

Here in Los Angeles we have honest-to-god oil derricks in our neighborhoods and the NIMBYs don't even notice. Apartments OTOH...

I went to a wind turbine some time because I was curious how loud it would be. It doesn't seem that loud actually. Maybe it's more the looks? (Personally, it's not that terrible and, well, we don't have a choice so define some nature reserves and for the rest go ahead.) Either way, I meant it more in the proverbial NIMBY sense rather than that literally everyone feels the same way about them.
