[Scroll down for English translation by National Wind Watch]
La Fédération Environnement Durable co-organise sous forme du collectif du 4 octobre, une manifestation anti-éolien à Paris devant le ministère de l’écologie.

Ceux-ci tentent, avec des moyens financiers gigantesques, d’influencer les élus qui vont se prononcer sur les propositions du Grenelle de l’environnement.
Ces industriels après avoir dirigé le Comité Opérationnel Energies Renouvelables du Grenelle de . . .

Permission has been given to appeal the recent high court decision and we go to the Court of Appeal in only three weeks time, on . . .
