The proposal of building the biggest offshore wind power production facility in the world in southwestern Spain on the spot of the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar. has been met with strong oppostition from the towns in the coast of Cádiz, who fear for tourism and fisheries in the area. There have also been complaints by the British, who claim that the area is a war grave and that any development of the area could destroy archaeological evidence of the historic battle.

“Husbands and wives generally understand when opposition will be vain.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals.
