I know we're supposed to love Green Energy in all its forms, but there's a reason that the well-heeled don't want windfarms floating off the coast - and within sight - of Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, etc. I was in the mountains this weekend and noted a new crop of windmills growing atop a distant ridge, and couldn't help but think they spoiled the view a bit. Maybe not as much as if the range had been clear-cut or strip-mined, but it's no longer a pristine view.

There's got to be a word for this phenomenon, and until someone else proposes a better one, I'm going with: windmills + molestation = windmillestation.


UPDATE:  This may take a while to catch on.
