Les éoliennes, sont-elles une imposture écologique? 

[Wind turbines: environmental imposters? – rest of English translation below] Les éoliennes, une imposture écologique?

Les éoliennes sont-elles une imposture écologique? Le Collectif du 6 octobre, qui regroupe notamment Chasse Pêche Nature Traditions (CPNT), la Fédération environnement durable et des associations de défense du patrimoine, en est persuadé et à son appel quelques centaines de personnes ont donc manifesté samedi aux abords du ministère de l’Ecologie contre “le programme éolien industriel” français.

Ils sont “contre l’éolien industriel” et l’ont fait savoir en manifestant samedi à Paris devant le ministère de l’Ecologie. Quelques centaines de manifestants ont ainsi répondu à l’appel du Collectif du 6 octobre qui regroupe Chasse Pêche Nature Traditions (CPNT) et encore la Fédération environnement durable.

“Eoliennes pièges à pognon”, “verrues du paysage rural” pouvait-on lire sur les pancartes des manifestants. Le collectif dénonce l’imposture que seraient les éoliennes: une centaine d’éoliennes produisant 25.000 Mégawatts “ne parviendraient pas structurellement à diminuer de plus de 0,5% les émissions françaises de CO2”.

Le Collectif demande “l’annulation immédiate de tous les projets éoliens industriels prévus à moins de 1.500 mètres des habitations”, rappelant que c’est la distance minimale recommandée pour les éoliennes d’une puissance supérieure à 2,5 Mw.

La fédération de promotion de l’éolien, “Planète éolienne”, défend pour sa part une forme d’énergie qui “ne produit aucun déchet et n’émet aucun gaz polluant”.

Are wind turbines environmental imposters? The 6 October Collective, which includes “Hunting/Fishing/Nature/Traditions”, the Sustainable Environment Federation, and heritage protection groups, has concluded thus and on their call, hundreds of people therefore demonstrated in front of the Environment Ministry against the French “industrial wind energy program”.

They are “against industrial wind energy” and made themselves known Saturday in Paris in front of the Environment Ministry. Some hundreds of demonstrators thus answered the call of the 6 October Collective, which includes “Hunting/Fishing/Nature Traditions” as well as the Sustainable Environment Federation.

“Wind turbines money trap”, “warts on the rural landscape” – one could read on the demonstrators’ signs. The Collective denounced the imposture of wind turbines. According to the Collective, hundreds of wind turbines producing 25,000 megawatts “will not reduce of French CO2 emissions more than 0.5%”.

The Collective demanded “the immediate halt of all industrial wind energy projects planned at less than 1,500 meters from homes”, the minimal distance recommended for wind turbine facilities with a total power of 2.5 MW or more.

The federation for wind energy promotion, “Wind turbine planet”, in response defended a form of energy that “produces no waste and emits no polluting gases”.
