There's to be a push (if you can call it that) by the German federal government over the distance between a wind-generator and local communities. However, it's an odd push.
ZDF (Channel Two of public TV) reports this.
The deal is that the federal government will allow each state (16 of them) to decide if the minimum of distance is 1,000 meters. This would be 6/10ths of a mile or 3,300 feet.
So you could end up with six states setting it at 1,000 meters, nine states at 1,500 meters, and one state at 2,000 meters. The lack of a national standard will make this a tough situation for wind-generating companies to see a financial success formula.
Will this resolve anything? No. Most of the anti-wind-generator groups are focused on various other issues, and will use legal means to harm the placement of future generators.
One might take the humble guess that as the older generators are life-cycled over the next decade.....you will see half the generators around country disappear. The goal of wind being the big dynamic of the power grid? It's come and gone.
