Propeller Hat Windfarms   (+4)  [vote for, against]
For a colourful countryside

Windfarms are an installation of tall, typically white and bland, windmills that attempt to harness the power of the winds. They are sometimes criticised as being an eyesore and a blight on the landscape.

Propellor hats are cute, brightly multi-coloured hats with a free-to-spin propeller on the top.

Propellor Hat Windfarms are an installation of tall, brightly multi-coloured windmills that harness the power of the winds and radiate cheeriness through their rainbow-y appearance.

How about millions of micro-generation plants?

Distribute Propellor Hats with tiny generators among the population. A small wearable battery stores power.

Hatstands at the entrances to buildings re-distribute the power to the grid.
