The province is divided when it comes to the construction of wind turbines. Of Utrecht residents, 36 percent believe that more wind turbines should be built on land, while 39 percent are against this. Young people in Utrecht are generally more positive about windmills. In the age category 18 to 34 years, 46 percent are in favor of more wind turbines, while only 29 percent of young people do not like this. If you want wind turbines, you can go to left-wing and green parties. D66 is also in favor. The party sees wind turbines providing cheap energy, although they do prefer offshore wind turbines. Outspoken opponent is BBB. Although the party sees that sustainable energy is necessary, they stop building wind turbines. BBB prefers to use solar panels, preferably on the roofs of buildings.
