FAZ: No Thanks to Green Policies

Reviewing the green “No Thanks” campaign to block nuclear, coal, gas, and other things, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, in a column, notes that this rejectionism also affects plans to shift the energy system of Germany to “renewables.” Overland power lines that are to transfer electricity to regions far away from the wind power parks in the North Sea, cannot get built, because there is opposition to having them built at people’s doorsteps. Wind power facilities are shredding birds, and so on and so forth. Nothing works. And what’s more: the Green Party call for reserving two percent of the German national territory for wind power parks, is, after all, half the area covered by roads and highways, which are rejected because they allow cars to be driven. The election campaign program will fall on the Greens’ toes after the election, the FAZ forecasts.
