With as much as conventional power sources and their byproducts of smoke and waste and runoff figure in scifi art and literature genres like cyberpunk, I wonder if there can be an opposite side to that. That is, would it be a boon to more unconventional power sources (wind, tidal, solar, geothermal) to put some effort into aesthetics? For example, would setting up solar panels in a circular-flower arrangement in a public area boost their image in the public eye more than their practical benefits? Or, failing making the apparatus itself aesthetically pleasing in its form, maybe decoration, like colored or mural'ed windmills?
