A wind of change. The Senate gave the go-ahead Wednesday, July 18 to the construction of wind turbines on the territories supplied with electricity by generators running on fuel, thus satisfying a request of the elected officials of Brittany. Senators adopted two neighboring amendments in the sense of Michel Canevet (UC, Finistère) and Joël Labbé (ecologist, belonging to the RDSE, Morbihan) to the draft law on the evolution of housing, planning and digital (ELAN ). "Our country includes territories such as the islands of Sein and Ouessant, fueled by generators running on fuel," said Michel Canevet.

"The current regulations make it difficult to set up renewable energy production in these small areas," he added, stressing the interest of an "energy mix from wind turbines , solar and perhaps tidal turbines to preserve the quality of the air ". "These unconnected islands are fueled by oil-fired power plants," Joël Labbé pleaded. "This derogation from the Coastal Law, framed, seems to us fully justified if we want these islands remain places of life," he said. On the other hand, Minister for Territorial Cohesion Jacques Mézard gave an unfavorable opinion. "Do not open Pandora's box," he said. "These amendments show that there is always a good reason for wanting a derogation! If we take them all into account, there would be no more Coastal Law."
The ELAN Bill is Debate [19659005] "I rebadure you, it is not the virtuous Breton mafia who is at work", replied Francoise Gatel (UC, Ille-et-Vilaine). "Refusing any construction is to condemn these islands to desertification! Do not oppose the Coastal Law and energy transition," she said. Begun Tuesday, the first reading of the draft law ELAN already adopted in the Assembly is expected to last until July 24 in the Senate. But, warned the president of the Commission for Economic Affairs Sophie Primas (LR), "at the rate we are going, to ten amendments per hour, we have 80 hours of debate". More than 1100 amendments have been tabled to the text.
