Fishermen call on Macron to halt Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm, threaten “unprecedented confrontations”
French fishermen have called on President Emmanuel Macron to cancel the 496MW Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm, threatening “unprecedented confrontations” if their demands are not met. The fishermen oppose the project as they say it will damage the marine environment, especially scallops, 
and the fishing industry. “The State must have the ambition to cancel this project,” Alain Coudray, president of the Côtes-d’Armor departmental fisheries committee, said in an open letter to the president,,, “It is not yet too late to prevent unprecedented confrontations from emerging in the bay of Saint-Brieuc,” >click to read< 09:26
That is very interesting. I have not heard of it anywhere else.
When the talk of this foolishness began in New England, there were some casual militants that claimed we were going to fight this encroachment on the fishing grounds. We supported that, and have lived by it, while others recognize there could be some bargaining issues, in some circumstances. I stand with these French fishermen.
