“We are talking about about 500 cubic meters of concrete for each wind turbine, we are talking about a network of roads about 18 meters wide where heavy vehicles can approach in 110 places, where the new wind turbines will be built. Now I do not understand why some people with this whole network of roads that will be created and even in NATURA areas, are trying to downplay the event. I think that the effects will be huge, the wind turbines collect huge amounts of insects on their blades. Ιn fact, they will be installed in areas that are mainly thyme habitats, with all that this implies for the apiaries.”
