Are those of the Savorius rotor type ? I don't really understand the need for such diameter!

There is "green" and "green"... Sustainability is not a matter of replacing coal power plants by windmills...! It's a "classical" error... Well, mostly a political symbol... And a trend to get money on a new fashionable feeling before anybody serious works on it..!
Here in Dunkirk there are two giant beautiful beaches... One has a nuclear power plant, the other a dozen of those giant windmills... Go figure...!!!!

And I thought we were the worst european pupils...:-)
