The hostility of the RN and elected LR to wind turbines immediately electrified the debates in the Assembly on Monday evening during the examination of the text dedicated to renewable energies, the other camps accusing them of being thirty years late or of giving up energetic sovereignty.
Far-right and right-wing elected officials pleaded in vain for a moratorium on the deployment of wind turbines on land and at sea. And they accused previous governments of having sacrificed nuclear energy by closing the Fessenheim power plant. .
At LR, Dino Cinieri criticized the wind turbines for their excessive nuisance and their intermittent nature.
At the RN, Pierre Meurin (Gard) castigated a wind nightmare, saying that the French in rural areas are just against it. We must stop the wind!.
People are not all opposed, people are divided over a problem of regulation of settlements, reacted Jean-Louis Bricout (Aisne), of the independent group Liot, pleading for better consultation with elected officials.
His colleague and group leader Bertrand Pancher considered the remarks of the far right and the right completely crazy: I feel like I’m reliving (the film) Good Bye Lnine going back thirty years to a past fashionable debate for or against renewable energies.
A moratorium would go completely against France’s energy sovereignty and the security of supplies, added Macronist rapporteur Pierre Cazeneuve. The wind turbines, it is 37 TWH last year, it is for example what we would miss today to be sure to pass the winter serenely.
Mr. Cazeneuve said he heard some past mistakes in the somewhat anarchic deployment of wind turbines, seeing it as a reason for this planning bill.

Turning to the right of the hemicycle, the Minister for Energy Transition Agns Pannier-Runacher said she shared the desire to develop nuclear energy. But before releasing the first EPR, we will have to wait fifteen years. What I hear from you is that two-thirds of your energy will be imported from Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, the Middle East, the United States, and that poses absolutely no problem for you term of energy independence, she tackled.
Previously, right-wing, far-right and left-wing opposition parties voted for an LR amendment in favor of accelerating geothermal energy in the energy mix.
Unfavorable, the government felt that this measure had no place in this text but in the future multi-annual energy program in a few months.
