Indeed, the are pretty hard to miss as they consist of a large pylon or tower with a large spinning (hopefully) rotor at the peak. The rotors are moved by the strength of the wind that is converted to electrical energy by a generator. Utility companies will sell this electricity to homeowners connected to their grid.
