It will be easier to build wind power turbines in Hungary from next year
Change language:
The government is relaxing rules with a view to boosting wind power generation, the energy ministry said on Friday.
The new rules reduce the protective radius around wind farms to 700 meters in line with European norms and it will be easier to obtain a permit from Jan 1, the ministry said in a statement.
Also, the restriction on total power output will no longer apply.
Nevertheless, strong guarantees will obtain in respect of protecting localities, the environment, farmland and landscapes.
The related decree published in the official Hungarian Gazette proscribes wind turbines and the border of their parks from being set up in an area intended for construction or within 700 meters of a protection zone.
Exceptions can be made when it comes to industrial investments which are designated as of special importance in terms of the national economy.
Turbines must not be set up on farmland with great production potential or where the landscape is under national or World Heritage protection.
Why? They are inefficient and financially unviable. They contain components that are unrecyclable and extremely hazardous to the environment, second only to nuclear waste. They massacre birds by the thousands and destroy animal habitats. They are a giant eyesore. Other than paying obeisance to mendacious “green” propaganda and kickbacks to authorities, what purpose do they serve?!?
