It would be a great idea for those that complain about the visual problem of windmills to take a drive from tyers through to Moe and check out what the view is along the way. It is quite literally a dirty great big barren hole. Trees and grass won't grow because theres no top soil and whats left is acidic. It wont fill to become a massive lake because unfortunately it doesn't seem to rain anymore. All you have is an ugly hole.
If that doesn't bother them then show em some statistics of respiratory disease in the area, would you like some cancer with your Bronchitis perhaps Sir.
I read a report many years ago where after repetitive testing of the ground around the Valley the pollutant levels were above the accepted levels and a solution had to be found. The best (most cost effective or perhaps only) solution was to make the smoke stacks higher so that the pollutants would be swept further away and hence wouldn't be so concentrated within the test area.
Personally I believe that windmills say to tourists that the locals care about this beautifull environment enough to have them put up in there back yard instead of relying on the burning of coal and it's well known problems.
