Utrecht voter divided about wind turbines: ‘I am for green energy, but at sea’

Woerden decides polder Reijerscop the ideal location for generating wind

If Guido van Loenen has completed the Kieskompas, he will undoubtedly have chosen ‘once’. De Utrechter is chairman of Rijne Energie, a club that is trying to realize the arrival of wind turbines in the Rijnenburg polder. “Six or seven, maybe even eight windmills,” he says. Van Loenen has been working on the procedure for years and hopes that local politicians will quickly say yes to the plan.
