== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Aria]]''. Three words: "Hill of Hope". Amano also likes on put wind turbines on the covers.
* ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'' series: Wind turbines appear prominently, even though Academy City is really not that windy. In one of the ''Railgun'' DVD specials, Mikoto goes on an extended rant about how impractical they are for an inland city and eventually concludes that they are actually ''consuming'' power in order to spin as part of a massive [[Government Conspiracy]] involving aliens and Mars. They do [[Chekhov's Gun|come in pretty handy to dissipate Accelerator's plasma ball]], though.
* ''[[Real Drive]]'' has a whole sequence where several turbines have to be turned on.
* ''[[Haibane Renmei]]'' features a whole field of them.
Line 24:
* LaRousse City, setting of ''[[Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys]]'', features a forest of wind turbines in its outskirts.
* Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL! also has a large number of wind turbines situated...somewhere...with a tower.
 
 
== Film ==
* ''[[Serenity]]'' has some vertical windmills.
* The characters of ''[[28 Days Later]]'' pass by some wind turbines on their drive north.
 
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* Wind turbines are very prominent in ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'', as wind energy powers much of the [[City of Adventure]].
* In ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]],'' one of these continues the episode's theme of [[Everything's Better with Spinning]], which proves {{spoiler|that thinking they'd escaped the virtual world earlier was in fact one more illusion.}}
 
 
== Video Games ==
Line 40 ⟶ 37:
** Alternative energy seems to be a big deal in Sinnoh, so it makes sense that wind turbines would make an appearance in ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]''. Wind turbines also appear in New Bark Town (but only in the remakes) and Nuvema Town of ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]''.
** In ''[[Wii Sports Resort]]'', a set of wind turbines are used as the sole source of electricity on Wuhu Island.
* From ''[[Sim CitySimCity]] 2000'' onward, wind turbines are a cheap source of clean energy, but have to be constructed in bunches in order to be effective.
* In ''[[No More Heroes]]'', Letz Shake is fought in a wind farm, and the area is shown in the starting theme too.
* ''[[Persona 3]]'': Wind turbines are visible from the roof of Gekoukan High School. They can also be seen on the map screen.
