   Don't know that TK ever complained about the looks, but   
   I'm not buying objecting on looks either.   
      
   If there is technology that can stand up to the storms and   
   salt corrosion, I can't imagine what it is.  I see it being   
   done, but according to the article, the Dutch are complaining   
   about maintenance costs.  Makes sense to me.   
      
   Wind wise, a great place to put a windmill.   
   Cost wise, still not buying it.
