Cartoon – questioning whether wind turbines are a blot on the landscape

A windmill/wind turbine – blot on landscape

A cartoon about the debate about wind power, and the argument that wind turbines are a blot on the landscape and a blight on the countryside

The cartoon uses the comparison between modern wind turbines and ‘picturesque’ Dutch windmills (or strictly speaking, wind powered pumps) to question whether wind turbines are a blot on the landscape.

The illustration is in a style that resembles a 17th century Dutch landscape painting, as a way to imply that people’s attitudes don’t change.
A cartoon about nimbys, nimbyism, alternative technology, sustainable energy, green power, environmentalism, natural energy
