For the past year the Danish Embassy in Paris has been asked to organise factfinding trips for a number of French journalists (32 journalists so far) interested in learning more about wind energy and the Danish experiences in this area. As responsible for energy and environment at the embassy I have been involved in organising these visits. During the visits the journalists had chosen which subjects they wanted to examine, and they have interviewed a large number of persons living with the turbines, fishermen, local people, ornitologists, the politicians etc. In this way they had the possibility to freely examine the truth about windturbines for themselves.

This has lead to a large number of articles and radio and television emmisions. here is a selection :
