Now Aiwanger is looking for the wind farm discussion: Wind turbines are built “whether citizens want it or not’“We can’t just snap our fingers and give up on this.” Ten of these 40 wind turbines were actually supposed to be built in the area of the municipality of Mehring. But the citizens there rejected this by a two-thirds majority in a referendum in January.
According to Qair, one hectare of forest has to be cleared for each wind turbine - that's about the size of a football field.
