I think it was someone on the Volts podcast[1], either David Roberts or a guest, who made the point (I'm paraphrasing) that one of the most helpful things a regular person can do is start to think of solar arrays or windmills as beautiful; if building them isn't "climate but eyesore" but rather a "climate and beauty" proposition, they are much more likely to get built.
When I drive through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, etc. I think windmills are quite beautiful. On the plains they are the only thing to look at and are quite inspiring.
