I hope that large scale arrays in a rural setting will be largely hidden by buffers around them, and this isn't all that hard to do, with arrays at ground level. The problem I have with wind farms is that they can't be hidden; they must be well up into the air to capture wind. That makes them far too visible to far too many who really don't want the mountain views spoiled that way. Just look at the wind farm over in I think Groton, so very visible from I93 heading up past exits 24-25. I wouldn't too many more of those all over the place. Solar makes a lot more sense.
