Re: French Senate report (4.00 / 3)

In hilly areas in Appalachia, the working alternative is to blow the crests sky high in mountain top removal coal mining.

Re: French Senate report (none / 1)

No coal has been mined in France for 20 years... And also, there are alternative places to put windmills such as offshore or the Rhône valley which is thoroughly industrialised and has a reasonable wind resource.

The Massif Central is more densely populated than Appalachia, also.
