Solar Energy
In the race to catch up with renewable energy, the question of aesthetics is rarely on the table. Considering our growing need for energy independence away from fossil fuels, this is somewhat understandable. Yet, many individuals and entire regions are refusing to make the leap to renewable energy exactly because of the way solar panels and wind turbines look. In the city of Amsterdam, whose historic centre is a protected conservation area, solar panels ruin the traditional landscape and are therefore not permitted.
