Above all, Stéphane Bern sees in this question of wind power a factor of division among the French.

"We are once again fracturing French society, which does not need that. It is fractured between Parisian bobos or city dwellers and rural dwellers. You know, it's easy when you're in a nice Parisian apartment to say 'they are rural people, bumpy people, we are going to put them wind turbines, it's good for the environment.' In reality, why don't they take it home, on the Butte Montmartre? "

A "at the same time" on wind turbines?

To support this fight against wind turbines, Stéphane Bern alerted the presidential couple.

Without success ?

"Brigitte Macron said that I was a kind of 'Don Quixote who was going to war against these new windmills' and the President told me 'yes, but ...'" on this subject, he laments.

"It's the 'at the same time', I get the feeling."

However, before the summer, the government tightened the conditions for installing these wind turbines in the region.

Not enough, obviously, in the eyes of Stéphane Bern.

I believed that we had to fight against the artificialization of soils and this gives once again intermittent electricity, which is expensive and which is not carbon-free unlike nuclear power.
