It's ironic that so much of the wind power debate is about what "it looks like," when wind itself is invisible to the human eye. But the aesthetic arguments have come to the fore in part because more substantive grievances against wind power have lost their saliency.

That's why wind, along with energy efficiency, leads the way in a number of plans in the state Legislature to move Michigan into a smarter energy future that minimizes dirty and dangerous fuel sources, stabilizes and lowers electricity rates and reduces air pollutants like mercury and heat-trapping carbon dioxide.
