I saw an interesting suggestion on site called half-bakery. The idea was that they could start combining wind-turbines with the pylons that carry power wround. That way instead of extra windmill towers and people getting uppity about what they look like, there'd just be more interesting looking towers in places where there already are pylons.

Personally I rather like the look of wind turbines. I'm sure a lot of the people who object to them would have objected to traditional windmills if they had been around when they were going up. The stuff about danger to birds sounds a bit phony to me - those turbines don't look as if they are going round all that fast, and birds used to manage to cope with the old windmills pretty well.
