People become accustomed to the sight of wind turbines from afar, and don\u2019t realize their true dimensions, saying, \u201cSo what? It\u2019s no big deal. These don\u2019t pollute!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But things aren\u2019t as simple as that. All mountaintops and all ridges are violated, huge craters are dug and filled with thousands of tons of concrete to erect huge wind turbines, some as tall as 200 m. Furthermore, wide roads are required to transport the turbines to their pads. More concrete to widen the country roads, since the turbine parts are transported by enormous trucks. Especially at the bends, the mountain roads are widened by as much as 30 or 40 m! As a a result, the mountain is fragmented, and forest ecosystems become compartmentalized, isolated, and eventually lost entirely.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Another aspect of this issue is that the power that is being produced is sold at a price many times above that produced in traditional power plants. You see, all wind farms are private, and DEI [the Greek govt.] hardly participates in this field. The public utility has been kept out of the field of RES [Renewable Energy Sources] on purpose, to secure the profitability of private energy groups. This results in the imposition of a RES surcharge in the electricity bill. Currently it isn\u2019t much, for not many wind farms have been connected as yet to the national grid. But this surcharge will increase in the future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This signals a double disaster. A financial one, because all these have not been developed on the basis of some national energy plan and are not controlled by the govt., and an environmental disaster will have taken place, for the last forests and mountains will be crammed with such energy facilities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s note: \u00a0Watch the first 13 minutes of this amazing video about Greece&#8217;s corrupt energy and &#8220;waste disposal&#8221; industry. \u00a0Notice the phrases, &#8220;licensed abuse,&#8221; &#8220;public health crimes,&#8221; and &#8220;toxic businesses&#8221; when applied to wind energy.
