All are opinions... I am mostly interested in peoples thoughts on the impact on the lake, the scenery and property values.

Although I am not an expert I have done a little reading which suggests that these residential windmills don't generate much power even in a good location (typically 20% of an average home monthly electrical usage) and given most NH locations do not provide consistent winds, a residential windmill costing $20k to install would take 50+ years to pay for itself.
