Wind turbine

For me, it is incomprehensible that newly built wind turbines, despite sufficient wind, stand still during the day for up to 7.5 months a year.

— Manuel Hailfinger, CDU member of the Baden-Württemberg state parliament, who lives in Sonnenbühl and observes the Hohfleck wind park from his home; criticizes daytime standstills as a threat to the acceptance of the energy transition

There should be a strict rent cap – for wind turbines.

— Katherina Reiche, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs (the idea originated with her; it concerns a rent cap on leases for wind turbines).

It's not so much about stronger wind as it is about more stable wind.

— Jochen Großmann, CEO of Gicon, on the increased stability and higher yield of height wind turbines
