I think that the landscape looks better without them. Compared to Europe we are a very small island, with little enough unspoiled countryside. They each have a huge concrete foundation that will be in the ground for ever, and vast amounts of CO2 are released in making it. Their energy is clean, but no generating capacity is replaced. Back up has to be in place for wndless days.
