This got brought up today via Focus, and it ought to be something you ponder about.
In general....once you build a wind generator at the factory.....there's roughly 12 to 36 months of planning effort....to go from the factory to the set-up site.
Sixty to eighty 'permissions/approvals' are then in the mix....moving each kilometer, and entering/exiting each village. If you have to move a powerline, take down a stop-sign, or trim a tree....you need permission by the local authority.
This is coordinated through the city, state, and federal authority.
Just one single entry into a town....might involve 200 pages of describing over what you plan on.
Cost-factor? Oddly, they leave that out of the story. I would make a humble guess....just one single wind generator probably has a cost in planning and approval of five-million Euro. But here's the thing.....eventually that generator reaches full life (around 30 years), and it's then taken down. The same paperwork is required to move it. I would also assume that the burial site.....for forty-odd generators....probably also has paperwork processes and permissions.
