Van WindParken

This wiki allows the inhabitants of the Netherlands to do spatial planning. The aim is to design 6000 windturbines in the Dutch landscape. This wiki presents initial designs for many local communities.

The locals are invited to improve the design for their own area. By being involved in the design of windturbines, they have a chance to own part of a windturbine.

The wiki is a way to cooperate on the design of the windturbines locations. This resembles the way the Dutch build their dikes for centuries: together.

Example of the Den Haag and Rotterdam area. The green lines are designs for rows of windturbines, with a turbine every 800 m. The lines flow through the countryside like rivers, around areas with less support,and through areas with more support, where locals want to earn some money with their own windturbines.
By the way, this is the area, where the US made their "Invasion of the Hague act" for.

Local ownership

The ownership of part of a windturbine, will put windenergy in a different perspective for many inhabitants of the Netherlands. Many of them find that they live in a crowded country. However if you look more closely at the designs on this wiki and zoom in, you will see that there is still very much space available in the Netherlands.

Ambition: all electricity produced by windturbines

The goal of this wiki is to prove that the Dutch can produce all of their electricity with 6000 on land windturbines of 3MWatt, and that these can be designed in the Dutch countryside in an acceptable, even attractive way.

The purpose of setting a goal like this, is to get politicians moving in the direction they say the Dutch society has to go. The politicians themselves are the ones that block this change.

Let not your ambition be reduced by its feasability

Design rules for windpark locations

• A windpark should be designed als a long line, that flows through an area.
• Windturbines on the line should be planned on equal distances,
• About 8 km or more away from a specific windturbine line, there should not be other lines prominently visible for a viewer in the area.
• The windpark wiki shows possible designs, local communities shouls adopt a design and improve it, and preferably design other locations too. Then other, less involved inhabitants of the region can have a simple choice between several altertnatives.
• The aim should be to generate 100% energy locally, every region should try to create windpark designs for local generation, and then see if they need locations in a neigbouring area.
• If a (part of) windpark design has gathered support, the official part of the project can start. Of course, local authorities and elected representatives, may help this process by designating specific areas for regional windturbines.
