== Light pollution by a planned industrial complex == [[AES Andes]], a utility company, is currently planning a megaproject known as INNA 11 km away from the VLT. Many concerns regarding effects on the VLT have been raised. [[Light pollution]] over the VLT could increase by 35%, [[turbulence]] caused by [[Wind turbine|wind turbines]] could decreasing [[Astronomical seeing|seeing]] by up to 40%, vibrations could impair the observations at the VLT and the [[Extremely Large Telescope]] and dust from construction could fall onto the mirrors. Such a project may invite other industrial development in the area, rendering the site unusable.<ref>{{Cite web |last=information@eso.org |title=New ESO analysis confirms severe damage from industrial complex planned near Paranal |url=https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2506/ |access-date=2025-03-22 |website=www.eso.org |language=en}}</ref>
