Beauty, in this case, may be in the eye of the visionary.

"Coal mines aren't very pretty either, and global warming that's going to destroy the northern forests in the Boundary Waters isn't very desirable," Hamilton says. "What you're seeing when you look at [wind towers] is the clean technology of a future that we're going to be proud to pass on to our children."
