Door de toenemende aantallen windturbines op land en op zee verandert onze natuur zienderogen in een industriële omgeving. Daarnaast hebben windturbines een enorme impact op het milieu, de mens en dieren.
De grote hoeveelheden materialen die nodig zijn kunnen niet milieuvriendelijk worden gewonnen, omwonenden worden tot wanhoop gedreven, oerbossen worden gekapt en walvissen, vogels en vleermuizen worden massaal slachtoffer van het gevoerde beleid.
Ondertussen stijgt de energierekening en wordt de energiezekerheid bedreigd door het variabele karakter van zon en wind.
Dit alles om klimaatverandering tegen te gaan. Maar is dat zo? Of kunnen grote aantallen windturbines juist klimaatverandering veroorzaken?

Kom met ons meepraten over de effecten van windturbines en de situatie in Nederweert.

Plan:
19.30 – 20.30: Bert Weteringe (author of “Windhandel”) gives a lecture about the effects of the energy transition and large-scale energy generation with wind turbines on nature, the environment and finances. Afterwards, the audience can ask questions for fifteen minutes.
20.45 – 21.00: pause
21.00 – 21.30: Roland Giessen explains what is going on in our region in the field of energy transition and the installation of wind turbines. Followed by the opportunity to ask questions.
22.00 hour: closing with the option to have a drink in the bar.

Clintel lectures are attended by scientists, administrators, journalists, entrepreneurs, students and anyone who wants to stay informed of the latest state of affairs.

Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL) is an independent foundation that reports objectively on climate change and climate policy and aims to be a voice of reason in the often overheated climate debate. CLINTEL was founded in 2019 by emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok. CLINTEL's main objective is to generate knowledge and insight into the extent, nature, causes and consequences of climate change and the climate policy related to it. CLINTEL also wants to participate in debates on climate science and policy, as well as in decision-making processes in this regard.
