Bjørn West is willing to consider an alternative placement for windmills
The chairman of Environment and Technique in Viborg county, quotes the following in the local newspaper Thisted Dagblad:
“[…] the resistance gives the occasion for extra thoughts and shows us other possibilities for placement of these windmillsâ€, he says without mentioning where this could be. The surfers have pointed out a placement at the area’s south of Hanstholm harbour, but Bjørn West doesn’t comment whether this could be a possible location.
The background for his statement comes after, from among other the minister of business- and economics Bendt Bendtsen, criticises counties for to bending too often for protests from interested organizations and citizens, who are against raising gigantic windmills in neighbouring areas. Denmark is worldleading when it comes to windmills, but it’s getting harder to find locations to these new windmills, which are larger then before, and citizens in the country protest against getting gigantic mills as a neighbour.
