turn a beautiful ocean view into an industrial one.
What about the view from the water?
We don't seem to mind turning the beach into condos and parking lots
Not to mention the 2-legged whales in droves... 
This is also why people fight the idea of public beaches. They want
theirs and then everyone else is on their own.
Or, what's so different to watching a multi-thousand ton ship that is
supposedly "scenic" as compared to a windmill that takes up far less
area--just that it stays still??? It seems somehow an incongruous
argument to me...

Ships come and go (most importantly here "go") while a windmill is
forever. I would bet that is the argument. Also depends on the ship. I
know a couple of people who got their condos near the cruise port
because they got a kick out of watching them come and go. Sorta like
people used to do with trains.
So the ships can come (and go
) in front of and behind the
windmill...the cattle do here and people stop to take 'pichurs' ...
