The French can fight, afterall;
Judges in Montpellier ruled that the turbines' location blighted the countryside, causing the "total disfigurement of a bucolic and rustic landscape". Besides the turbines "spoiling the view", the judges also cited the "groaning and whistling" and "unsightliness of white and red flashing lights".
The company was ordered to pay the Wallecans €37,500 (£31,500) in damages and to remove the wind farm within four months or face a fine of €500 per day per turbine.
Related: The regressive economic impact of these skyrocketing prices and fees is getting so unavoidably huge that it's actually becoming politically advantageous to advocate for the reduction of these once-holy green subsides and taxes, if you can believe it, and politicians are started to make promises about rolling back all of these mandates en masse.

Oh yea, their hero's, now they'll replace them with Mosque spires.

Actually I believe they’ll simply pay Justin Turdeau to fly over for NOT ONE SINGLE EURO to blow real hard into the microphones.

Cheers for the learned judges in Montpellier. I visited that part of the world earlier this year, but thankfully was not subjected to the windmill zone.
A fight against hundreds of bird/bat/wind mills to be sited on the north shore of Lake Superior has been ongoing for years now. Aside from the visual blight on landscapes made famous by the Group of Seven, they make NO economic sense whatsoever!
An enormous scam, benefitting a few.
Here in Ontario we build windmills with public money, and then pay the owners not to produce electricity from them.
I learned a new thing today too. The whole area of the Haldimand/Norfolk wind generation region is NOT WIRED UP. They can't attach to the local grid (as I've been saying) because they will -melt- it.
This next is scuttlebutt, and therefore suspect, however sounds pretty reasonable to me.
Everybody thinks the windmills feed into the same transmission lines that run from Nanticoke Generating Station to Hamilton, but they don't. Know why? Because those transmission lines run at HIGH VOLTAGE, and the windmills don't. To transmit on the high voltage lines would require each bird mincer group to have its own step-up transformer station to get the voltage high enough, and I have seen no new transformer stations being built around here. Nor have I seen the kind of huge wires being strung that it takes to transmit lower voltage power.
phamtom...it is CURRENT (I), and not voltage(E) that dictates wire size:-))) And a hollow core is better for transmission lines as the current (especially at hi E) runs at the surface of the line!!
