In the Part of Lower Austria that Stefan and I visit from time to time there are a lot of wind power plants. Since the area there is very flat and the wind can blow very easy without any disturbance, this makes it a perfect place for some wind parks that generate power from the wind. Some say that these Wind turbines make an landscape ugly but I don't think so If there are only few and not thousands (whole skyline full of windmills) I think they look quite good. Of course the Platform where these windmills stand on has to be concrete and therefore a small part of land is destroyed. But compared to other power Plants I think this is a relatively small area that can be used to produce some engery. Some way or another energy has to be created.
What is your favorite Power plant? Wind? Water? Coal? Gas? Nuclear? Geothermal? tidal power plant? Solar Power?
