[MassHistPres] FW: Fwd: Windfarm near Copenhagen

[Bjdurk at aol.com]

This is considered by many to be an important piece of investigative  
reporting in the context of the aesthetic issues regarding wind turbines.   It 
was published by Hawaii Free Press and is written by Andrew Walden.   There 
are images for review by those interested.

Hi Betty:
Ok these aren't too bad (in the photo), but I think it's because there  are 
only 20 of them, and they are all evenly spaced in a fairly attractive  
semi-circle.   Twenty we could probably live with.  (Or are there  more close 
by that we couldn't see in the photo?).

This is a photo of a wind farm near Copenhagen which we saw last  summer.  
We saw several others and those on the ship thought they were  beautiful.  
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so they say, and  probably should not 
be the basis for a decision on such an  important trade-off facing 
preservationists.

Jonathan:


If you think there may be a way to make these 130 wind turbines look  
attractive, and blend in nicely with the historical aspects of their  
surroundings such as happened in your Amherst story below, please please let  us know.  
We need a hint, something to grab on to which will lessen our  strong 
feelings against this ghastly project.  And about the parade....it  hasn't 
started yet.  Watch for the floats.


My best,
