Westermeerwind wind farm off the coast of the Urk peninsula

48 wind turbines from the largest wind farm in the Netherlands are located in the IJsselmeer and on the land of Urk enough to supply 160 000 households with electricity. Urk is a former island now a peninsula which received very negative news last week because the Urk youth started rioting out of dissatisfaction with the Corona and curfew measures. In the following 3 evenings it has been very restless throughout the country youth of mostly non-Dutch descent in particular have been violent against the police and other aid workers and millions of euros in damage has been caused by vandalism and looting. Many arrests were the result and a few swindlers have already been brought to court by means of a summary judgment and have already been convicted and put in prison for up for 2 to 8 months.
