French court orders 'historic' demolition of seven wind turbines
Connection France ^ | 1 Apr 2021 | Jane Hanks

Windfarm opponents are claiming a major victory after Hérault court ruled that the turbines must be demolished as they were built without the correct permission

The court ordered that the 93m turbines at Bernagues in the Grands Causses in Hérault must be demolished, even if the owners launch an appeal.

They started producing power in 2016 but the next year the Conseil d’Etat, France’s highest administrative court, rejected the planning permission.

Rabbits and rodents are drawn to the recently dug sites and this is a fatal attraction for eagles, which fly at the same height as the turbine blades.

The owner said he had been misled on the turbine size, believing it to be small. After signing, he was told it would be the largest, at 186m.

Good.

Businesses lying to get people to sign contracts should not only result in the plans not going through, but severe financial penalties to the liars, personally. Real jail time would be excellent as well.

Who would ever think that the French have more common sense than Americans? Tear down all the windmills.

They blight the landscape, are of dubious value, and end up rusting out anyway.

What a bitter horrible mistake the US ever made allowing them.

Viva La France!

—”Get rid of all the bloody things.”

Now, let’s not too be hasty and condemn millions or perfectly good windmills because of a few minor issues!

It’s the global warming premise behind them that is rotten.

I like it when the tips exceed the sound barrier and explode from the shock wave.
