This Sunday, May 2, Julien Odoul’s running mate is participating in a tree planting operation in a rural town in each department of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté to raise awareness of their opposition to the development of wind power.
Press release from the National Gathering of April 30, 2021:
As part of the campaign for the regional elections on June 20 and 27, the National Rally list led by Julien Odoul is launching a major field operation this Sunday, May 2: “Let’s plant trees and dismantle wind turbines”.
Indeed, the National Rally denounces the strategy adopted by Marie-Guite Dufay which is neither credible nor serious. How to promise a “positive energy” region in 2050 by concentrating efforts on the construction of polluting wind turbines, 95% imported from abroad? The socialist majority prides itself on having a region benefiting from essentially green energy… It often forgets to specify that Burgundy Franche-Comté produces less than 15% of its electricity and imports massively from the Center Val-de-Loire region, the most nuclear in France.
Faced with this destructive logic of our forests and our landscapes, Julien Odoul proposes the dismantling of the 403 wind turbines in the region and the shutdown of the 469 other wind turbines currently in the pipeline, the transfer of regional subsidies to the protection of the environment and the development of other energies such as hydroelectric, hydrogen and the wood industry.
In order to denounce the mad policy of the outgoing socialist candidate in terms of the installation of wind turbines, the National Gathering is organizing this Sunday, May 2, an operation to plant trees by its candidates and activists.
We specify that the trees planted are regional species of oak, ash, beech and chestnut from a culture of Yonne. Compliance with health rules and barrier gestures will be ensured.
