Wind Energy In India Is Powering Over 1M Homes, But At What Cost? | Power To The People

Muppandal Wind Farm, in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, India, is home to more than 3,000 wind turbines, making it the largest in India.
Power generated from the farm feeds India's central grid, and the industry offers livelihoods to educated youths and has lifted living standards for the communities. However, rising land prices leave past land sellers in regret. As the town grapples with economic transformation, the delicate balance between progress and environmental preservation becomes apparent.

That architect guy should not stay dump, he should lease his land direct to the holders. These are illegally bought by these agents and transfered under lease to the investor. He should negoitate the deal direct and can even use the land below to farm. Don't get fooled by kathadi brokers!!

[@skellurip]

why there is a need to buy all the land? just rent some part of it for long term and keep the rest of the land productive

[@wretfsfvd]

how truck and crane can run on crop field without damaging farmer can demand more compensation if something happen to their farm by company. sometime this compensation is more then total value of all crops in field.

Pure air has no price. Well said. Not every bit of land needs to be destroyed to make ways for new energy source. The coconut grove is so wonderful look at and needs to be enjoyed every day of the year. He can nicely make that into a camping site or for daily business events or even a wedding event while preserveing the way it is now. he can even let schools bring their children and create awareness of beautiful places of nature.

[@youxkio]

The companies interested in installing wind turbines purchase the land???? In my country, they pay rent to the landowners. The money is not much but interesting offer and does not stop landowners from tilling the land. Purchasing famers' lands will cause a real estate bubble and increase farm produce prices. Companies renting a small spot to the original landowners where the wind turbine is installed would be the right solution. Everyone would be happy.

[@amrithMilW]

This place no much agriculture and land are cheap

[@youxkio]

@@amrithMilW Yes, but then what happens to the owners? do they purchase land somewhere else? You know this growth of land value may end in a bubble and only increases agro produce prices. Meanwhile India is growing its demographic population. Seems a bad mixture going on there. Look what happened in china with property development. I know it is a different case because it is not apartments, but in India's case is land. I love wind turbines and new renewables but I think there could be better solutions for property owners.

[@BlackHawkTejas]

​​@@youxkioThis channel is funding propaganda against India & nothing else! They just cherry pick things & twist the narrative. The even color graded the video to make the area look bad In India also companies rent land! Basing your whole opinion about a country based on a propaganda news channel is something else!!
