I like scenery as much as the next person, but when you drive round "far away" (from me) places (like Yorkshire, or Wales, there are many very remote areas where no-one local could claim a wind farm would be intrusive, so it's just a bit of a blot for sightseers and hikers - and there would still be plenty of land left for them. Solar farms can be even more unobtrusive. If people were given the choice of an unreliable electricity supply or some windmills I'm sure the resistance would be less.
