Question 17275 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the strong concerns raised by the President of the Republic's announcement of the tripling of the onshore wind farm to bring the number of machines to 24,000 throughout the country. This will have the consequence of distorting the landscapes, compromising the living environment of thousands of inhabitants and the tourist attractiveness of the territories. Furthermore, there is a fear of an increase in the price of electricity even though the Court of Auditors, in a March 2018 report, denounced the exorbitant cost and inefficiency of intermittent renewable energies such as wind power, which has become the symbol of the energy transition. Indeed, the amount of public financing resulting from contracts signed before 2017 for the benefit of original electricity producers wind and photovoltaic would amount to 121 billion euros over fifteen years. Furthermore, this decision ignores the fears and anger of tens of thousands of people who see their living environment degraded, suffering from these machines which reach heights greater than 200 meters 500 meters from their homes. Anger reignited by the publication of recent decree no. 2018-1054 of November 29, 2018 relating to onshore wind turbines, environmental authorization and containing various provisions for simplification and clarification of environmental law, published on December 1. This decree introduces the removal of a level of jurisdiction. It thus deprives citizens of the fundamental right to defend themselves free of charge in first instance before administrative courts and provides for the crystallization of means, which prohibits applicants from invoking new legal arguments after a period of two months (instead of 4 months today) from the communication to the parties of the first defense. A second decree no. 2018-1277 of December 24, 2018 aims to test a right to derogate from the provisions relating to public inquiries in the regions of Brittany and Hauts-de-France. These legal exceptions are seen as provocations. He asks her how the Government intends to establish a society of trust and solidarity by thus reducing the rights of associations and citizens on projects having an impact on their daily lives and their environment. He asks him if he is considering a moratorium on onshore industrial wind power and if he plans to take stock of the advantages and disadvantages of this renewable energy.
