I don't see any problem with wind power generators. My old school has several mills on its grounds which power most of the buildings completely independent of the power grid, and there's a batch of them (much bigger ones) just outside town on some of the low hills. I think they look cool. Sure, they make a bit of a whirring noise sometimes, but they're still quieter then most road traffic or other environmental noises a lot of people live with everyday.
They're certainly quieter than the young blokes who just moved into the rental property a few doors down from us. :?
