尽管它们在大多数方面都是环境友好的，但发电风力涡轮机经常遇到很大的阻力。这种阻力大多是美学性质的;风力涡轮机不知何故不“适合”在景观。在一种（古典）观点中，风景是美丽的，因为它们是“风景”，平衡良好的组成。但是风力涡轮机引入了一个不和谐的音符，它们超出了“规模”。“从另一种（生态）观点来看，如果各种元素形成一个稳定和完整的有机整体，那么景观就是美丽的。但是风力涡轮机很难融入生物群落;至少在某些方面，它们就像“杂草”。“此外，现在受到业界青睐的100米三叶片风力涡轮机不能很好地适应任何景观是有原因的。正如阿尔伯特·博格曼（Albert Borgmann）所说，它们是当代技术的特征，是生产商品的距离“装置”，而不是人们可以参与的“东西”。因此，唯一能克服风力涡轮机美学阻力的方法就是让它们更“像东西”。讨论了一种这样的“类似物”的涡轮机。
Despite the fact that they are in most respects environmentally benign, electricity-generating wind turbines frequently encounter a great deal of resistance. Much of this resistance is aesthetic in character; wind turbines somehow do not "fit" in the landscape. On one (classical) view, landscapes are beautiful to the extent that they are "scenic," well-balanced compositions. But wind turbines introduce a discordant note, they are out of "scale." On another (ecological) view, landscapes are beautiful if their various elements form a stable and integrated organic whole. But wind turbines are difficult to integrate into the biotic community; at least in certain respects, they are like "weeds." Moreover, there is a reason why the 100-meter, three bladed wind turbines now favored by the industry cannot very well be accommodated to any landscape view. They are, as Albert Borgmann would put it, characteristic of contemporary technology, distanced "devices" for the production of a commodity rather than "things" with which one can engage. It follows that the only way in which the aesthetic resistance to wind turbines can be overcome is to make them more "thing-like." One such "thing-like" turbine is discussed.
