    In my personal opinion, I think that the amount of land required for any sort of result to be derived from wind generators wipes out the benefit that they provide (if any) to that same environment. I believe that as a country and particularly a ministry which is the only tool available to protect the environment, you should look into other sources of energy. For example, a reputable British scientist, David MacKay, recommends in an oversimplified nutshell that transport fuel be converted as much as possible to electric (hybrid cars and extensive electric train networks), and that nuclear plants and clean coal plants be used to produce electricity. Since Greece does not have any natural sources for gas or oil, whichever fossil fuel it imports should be the same to the country. (So in other words, we are not prolonging the life of a natural reserve within our borders by erecting wind generators). Therefore, why not look into other sources of energy? Gas and oil will run out at some point anyway, so why not be ready for it? We would dramatically cut CO2 emissions by either nuclear or clean coal, gain on the carbon tax levied to polluting countries, plus we could potentially export electricty. And we would not have a construction boom destroying our greatest national asset, which is Greece’s natural beauty. Thank you for your time, anemokamenos
