Sustainable windenergy
Dear mister Ansip,
For the Comenius project, which is subsidized by the Europian Union, we are busy with
researching to sustainable windenergy. I really want to get windergy being noticed by you.
Big benefits of windenergy are shortly that it will never stop fanning. The energy will be
pernament.
International there is spoken about the fully use of sustainable windenergy in 2050. In the
Netherlands there is an energy agreement that strives to use 14% of sustainable wind
energy. In our country it is extremely suitable for windenergy. This is because of the wind
flow we have in the Netherlands. But also the low populated areas we have in the
Netherlands and the flat land we have here. There are already very busy with building new
windmills parks in the Netherlands.
But not only the Netherlands is suitable for windmills but also al lot of more countries in the
Europian Union that are suitable for windenergy. You can use as example Germany who
already has 7% of his total energy coming from wind energy. Spain, Denemark and the
United-Kingdom are already busy with having wind energy.
It is important that wind energy is being supported by the Europian Union. Particulary for
the construction of windmills. Certainly because the Europian Union wants to have full
disposal of wind energy in 2050. My opinion is that windmills are in long term more
efficient and productive opportunity for sustainable windenergy. Even if the charge is first
expensive eventually will the invisting in windmills give advantage. Sometimes the
regulation blokkades the building of windmills. I believe that building permits,
environmental permits and the destination plans, have to be organized by the Europian
Parlement which involves the building of windmills.
If I look around in my ambiance I can see a lot of windmills just over the border, because in
the Netherlands it is being hold against because of the destination plas. Meanwhile the
border is only a kilometre ahead. One part of the Netherlands population thinks that
windmills are pollution for the horizon. Beside that ther is also een environment movement
that stand out for the importance of the birds, that can fly in the vanes. While in my opinion

fossil fuel gives more damage to the environment than windmills do, because windmills are
eventually more sustainable and for the environment they are much better.
The biggest advantage that the fossil fuel is inexhaustible and that the wind is always
there. Charges can be payed back between 3 till 6 months after placing the windmill. It is
disadvantageously that the building of a windmill costs so much energy. After that they will
at least produce energy for another 20 years, like this you will have a lot of advantage of
the windmills. Also for the Netherlands it counts that there are areas where it economically
is going bad, especially in agriculture and horticulture. The Russian boycot is not really
helping the agriculture and horticulture with the boycot. For these entrepreneurs windmills
can be economically ]stimulating. Because these entrepreneurs can rent their ground for
windmills. This does not only counts for the Netherlands entrepreneurs but also for the
Europian entrepreneurs. Russia is a big supplier for fossil fuel, I want to plead for being
independant of Russia. So wind energy is because of this is even more needed.
What I would really want? Is that this subject would be more often found on the
appointment book of the Europian Parlement. Sustainabilaty for my generation, but also
for de upcoming generations. I hope to see this subject more often on the news or in the
newspaper, so that I know there is thought about it.

Yours sincerly,

Aukje van Adrichem
