A legally-required public information meeting was held in Commanster on 23.9.08 as the first step in the study of the environmental impact of the project.
This "independent" inquiry, paid by Nordex Energy GmbH, will be conducted by SGS Belgium, whose "independent" representative at the meeting defended the project more strongly than the two representatives from Nordex Energy GmbH, one of whom did not speak French.

From the figures supplied at the meeting (55,000MWh of a potential 197,100MWh), the turbines would function 28% of the time. A 22.5MWh wind farm requires 22.5MWh of thermal capacity available to function the other 72% of the time (nuclear generation must run continuously). Due to the standby and the erratic stopping and starting, this could produce almost as much CO2 as if the thermal generation ran 100% of the time.

(No reduction in thermal electrical generation = increased global warming)
