Comments on: Wind energy in Mexico could jeopardize the energy transition https://energytransition.org/2019/10/21021/ The Global Energiewende Thu, 02 Apr 2020 02:41:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.1 By: Sabina https://energytransition.org/2019/10/21021/#comment-21521 Thu, 02 Apr 2020 02:41:31 +0000 https://energytransition.org/?p=21021#comment-21521 My partner and I stumbled over here by a different page and thought I should check things out.

I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to looking at your web page again.

But the case is not helped by hyperbole:
“By 2030, another 3000 windmills will be installed in the region occupying even more land that was previously used to farm traditional crops, such as corn and sugar cane.”
The corn and sugar cane presumably still grow under the wind turbines (only anti-wind campaigners say “windmills”). The actual exclusive land take of a wind farm is small – the tower footprint, a one-lane dirt access track, and some cabling.

Is the lefty populist AMLO doing anything to remedy the injustices reported here? Probably not. His base is in the unionised workers of the big state companies that he is stalling the energy transition to protect. Poor peasants are low down the list of concerns.
