Japan's Ministry of Environment prioritizes a national park landscape over a wind farm

The opinion of the Minister of the Environment on the Ukushima Wind Power Project in 2015 was very disappointing.

I do not know if the landscape of the wind farm is really a problem in the designation of the world's cultural heritage. I agree to investigate the impact.

In any case, the minister's recommendation to only abolish the turbines to avoid impact on the national park landscape, at least at this location, the Minister of the Environment prioritizes the national park landscape over carbon free energy means. In contrast, layout changes or discontinuations were requested to avoid noise, shadows of nearby wind turbines, and effects on flora and fauna.

The issue of climate change is said to be one of the most important issues in the global environment. In Germany, the scene where a windmill stands on the whole surface of a national park seems to be common recently.
