I would think Don Quixote would be foaming at the mouth to defeat the windmills, not denying they exist? Do I remember the story wrong? Whatever, they are gorgeous photos!

What are these effects on the environment you speak of? From the pictures you posted it seems like you are talking about aesthetics, which is completely different and subjective. A metal pole in the ground has virtually 0 environmental impact, as evidenced by the very pictures you've shared. They're still beautiful, pristine places - now imagine if each of them had an oil refinery or coal burning plant instead.
