comments from AntiBlight:

You don't "see" any "facts" in the same way that you (and other pseudo-environmentalists) don't see those massive industrial towers and lights all night long. You've ignored the entire point of the article. It's a bizarre attitude, analogous to an elephant or gorilla in one's living room. The author also mentions overpopulation, another huge issue mainstream environmentalism tries to ignore for political-correctness.

This article does an excellent job of describing the "green" mental blindness toward huge industrial projects just because they burn oil or coal (after they're installed, that is). People with unbiased eyes and ears see what's really going on, and we aren't default climate deniers, we just respect natural landscapes and quiet vistas that have no price tags.

Look up the term "energy sprawl" and read about what's already happened to large parts of Europe. It's a growing environmental tragedy, ostensibly done for the greater good. Wind turbines are now visible from about 60% of locations in Scotland, and many Germans were already lamenting wind power in 1998 (Darmstadt Manifesto). The U.S. has more land acreage than Europe but the scale of these projects keeps growing and you can already see too many of them.

Putting wind turbines offshore is touted as a solution to landscape blight but those turbines are even taller and easily visible. The ability to gaze on unfettered oceans is now being lost. It's very frustrating to see wind turbines (and large solar arrays) promoted by people we thought respected nature.
