With respect to the Scottish landscape, it's irrational to complain
about wind turbines and have no complaint about pylons.

Um, not completely. I would agree that pylons are a visual blight that
we've all gotten used to BUT they aren't concentrated on hilltops and high
moors like windmills are and certainly aren't anything like as visible at a
distance. More often than not pylons run through valleys reducing their
visual impact enormously.
