Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?

I remember reading somewhere (probably my high school textbook) that one of the reasons people don't like wind power being built is they cause visual pollution.

In my opinion, I think it would be pretty cool to just look out my window and see a giant windmill there, the opposite of visual pollution.

They look better than pump jacks and oil derricks.

Let alone power plants billowing steam and smoke

And they don't damage the environment as much as a hydro dam

And nowhere as ugly as giant farms of solar

Honestly its probably the BEST looking power source

Wind needs energy storage but it generates a ton of electricity 👍⚡

Ah pump jacks are satisfying to watch too. And I mean derricks are temporary. But I've always liked windmills.
