Government permits deforestation for wind farm development

The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development sees only the positives in replacing trees with wind turbines...

The Ministry emphasises that in supporting the construction of wind power plants in forested areas, the opinions of environmental experts and ornithologists have been taken into account, yet it fails to mention that it is the source of income for these very experts and ornithologists. From this perspective, their tacit consent to covering the forest in concrete is a logical outcome.
