Actually the 1950s view of the future was nuclear based. Nuclear flying cars etc. Wind turbines and towers in general are quite ugly and kill birds, especially when concentrated like in the fields near Vienna. Offshore wind is fine. Trees are beautiful.

FWIW, I've read speculation that painting them white attracts insects which attract birds.

I volunteered at Audubon for years. Love both birds and windmills.
