GUARDIAN/ Mirel Bran/ Since late 2008, the Czech utility company CEZ Group has been building a huge windfarm in the village of Fantanele near the Black Sea and paying farmers there up to $3,800 a year. A farmer says of the Black Sea: "It's a rough sea and when it's angry, which is often, it blows this far inland." That wind is all this isolated hilly region has in the way of resources because the land is arid and rocky, limiting the farming possibilities. But prosperity has arrived. The first stage is now ready with 115 turbines installed out of the planned 139.
