Visual impact

The visual impact of an aerogenerator of a 40-60 metre tall wind power plant is obvious, but it can be downsized by building plants at a certain distance from the nearest urban centre. Todya the visual impact is reduced by positioning the machines on a single row and using neutral colours (like white).
The lowest impact on the environment and landscape can be obtained by positioning the plants in the open sea, in places that are not visible from the coast. At the moment some less isible building solutions are being studied also with regard to installations on the land. It is possible to use chromatic tricks by painting wind towers with same colour as the surrounding landscape (for example the lower part could be green like the surrounding countryside, while the higher part could be light blue like the sky), or adapting shapes of wind plants to already existing structures.
