A thought on the use of Wind Farms to please the eye. This was something I wrote while waiting for class and after a chat I had with some friends about why wind power wasn’t being utilized and the argument about how unsightly wind farms would be on the landscape.
Must it be ugly?
Could artists be brought together with engineers to create functional, but beautiful works of art that could be a “wind farm” disguised” as a monument to South Africa? The work of African artists on display for tourists to line, and pay, to view?
Something grand---like Mt Rushmore! The Eiffel Tower!
Could it be done?
Yes it could!
South Africa has the artists, the technical know how, the wind power, the need for alternative power sources and the tourists willing to see its beauty.
Something spectacular, something amazing, something people can marvel at, ooh and aah at, the eighth or ninth wonder of the world. The Winds of Change of South Africa.
In many facets, in the way the people from different vocations came together for the good of the cause, in the way they overcame adversity, in the way they capitalized on their many strengths, the way they took care of themselves, and they did it to benefit the people all people and the land and all who came to see it. And how they became an example of how other countries, still grappling with the same struggle of how to utilize wind power, can overcome, would be amazing.
What a wonderful testament to their ability to utilize their strengths, talents and resources to empower themselves and be an example for the world to see.
