Verzijlbergh explained that Belgian wind farms have an advantage over Dutch ones. “They are located southwest of the Dutch parks and the wind often comes from the southwest, so you often steal some of our wind,” he said.

Umm, my guy. It sounds like it's their wind and they graciously pass on their leftovers instead of "extracting" all of the wind.

It was then that the Dutch poldered the Netherlands out to upwind of the Belgian wind farms.

Would be such a power move.
