High-voltage power lines.
One thing is certain; you can't hide wind turbines from view. They can't be hidden
nor can they be camouflaged like cell phone towers and satellite dishes (Komanoff, 2003;
Pasqualetti, 2002; Righter, 2002; Saito, 2004). Because of their visibility (and for other rea-
sons), siting and establishing wind-energy production farms and transmission infrastructure
present unique challenges.
