We’ve posted several times about German-led companies running amok in places like Cesme in Turkey.
Now we wonder how many other places are experiencing the same heavy-handed disrespect to local communities.
Because yesterday we were informed by a new Norwegian friend of threats to a small island called Frøya, very near to the island of Smola about which we have posted, the most recent being the tragedy of the sea eagles killed by turbines on that island.
...BUT
Its original application was for turbines with a max height of 135m and with turbines of 2.3 -3 MW. It was on this premise that the application for exemption was evaluated, having respect to consequences for nature and wildlife, consideration for cultural heritage, the zone of visual impact, shadow flicker and noise.
The company is now proposing turbines with a height of 180m and with a capacity of 4.2 MW.
So, hub height increased from 84m to 135m; an increase of 60%
Tip height increased from 135m to 180m; an increase of 33%
Tip height increased from 135m to 180m; an increase of 33%
