Netherlands accuses Belgium of 'stealing' wind
Wind energy in the EU is developing rapidly, but along with "green" energy come new challenges. This is reported by European media. The publications note that on this basis a serious conflict has matured between Amsterdam and Brussels. The Netherlands, no more and no less, accuses Belgium of "stealing" wind.
The two countries' offshore wind farms are so close that the Belgian turbines, located further south, intercept the air currents, leaving the Dutch wind turbines in a "wind shadow."
– the media reports the essence of Amsterdam’s claims.
It is emphasized that energy losses can reach 3%, which is quite a lot by European standards. It is possible that the first legal dispute in European history, the subject of which will be wind, may begin in the near future.
It is worth noting that, according to some scientists, the legal battles that may soon unfold across the expanses of the European Union are only part of the problem. The real problem, according to experts, is that the so-called wind turbines seriously threaten the movement of air masses.
This in turn could have a negative impact on the Gulf Stream, which warms northern Europe.
