The scale of these wind farms is beyond what we’re equipped to process in day-to-day human experience. They conquer the landscape in ways we can’t fully comprehend even when they’re in front of us. In a sense, they’re abstract sculptures of themselves, mostly visible in fleeting glances from interstate highways or airplane windows.
@[email protected] In Denmark, we have quite a few of them at sea. It does indeed have an aesthetic to it.
@[email protected] I’ve always felt a sense of awe at the Altamont Pass farm. Every time I’ve driven by it, it is hypnotic. And you’re right, the audible hum gives you the impression that energy is, literally, in the air there.
@[email protected] I drive past those once in a while. They are imposing and beautiful at the same time.
@[email protected] I drove into North Texas a few years ago, and noticed wind turbines on the horizon. We passed wind farm after wind farm. For over an hour there was always a wind turbine in view.
