MOLINOS TORCAL
MOLINOS TORCAL
The installation of windmills, (90-120 high), not only causes visual contamination but it needs a big quantity of concrete, wich could cause estructural damage in the bedrock and divert the natural watercourse as happened at Ovenden Moor (England).
The following image shows a comparision of known size structures, like a church, a warehouse, a house or people with windmills. This offers a clear view of how big can windmills be. You can’t wonder how big they are because they usually are installed in desert areas, far away from people. Now, you can imagine the impact of installing windmills next to population.
This image shows the big foundations needed to install windmills.
The Eolic Farm “Los Lentiscares” aims to be installed in the “Zona sur del Torcal”, country place, actually growing a lot. People from the area would see their health damaged as well as their economy, because turbines cause a perturbation in people rest and damage the beauty of the place so tourism would be affected making serious damage in the way of living.
The following image shows a map of the “Zona sur del Torcal”, with several areas highlighted. They show the places were turbines would be placed.
