Why is it that many green initiatives result in the environment being blighted?

Solar panels have been defacing what were attractive roofs throughout the area for some time. Now the plethora of bins introduced under the new recycling scheme is cluttering up the street scene. Those that have no alternative are forced to keep the bins out the front of their property and even some who do have an alternative cannot be bothered to use it.

I am not anti-green but why oh why does everything green have to be so ugly and intrusive?
