... according to
online IWR reports:
Installation of thousands
of megawatts of German
wind power capacity
has led to:
power grid instability,
much higher
electricity prices,
destruction of natural
landscapes, and
noise complaints.
Wind projects protests
rose to the point where the
government was forced to
scale back on subsidies
two years ago.
Investments in
new wind farms,
have since collapsed.
The IWR writes:
"The negative trend in the
construction of new wind
turbines in Germany,
which has persisted
for more than a year, i
s thus intensifying.”
“A short- or medium-term
change is not to be expected."
The near halt in new
German wind energy
projects will cause
a huge problem in
meeting the country’s
commitment to transition
over to green energies
by 2050.
Experts believe Germany
will fail to meet its interim
2020 commitments.
Major decisions
on green energy
programs and
investments
are expected
to be announced
by the country’s
“climate cabinet”
tomorrow
(September 20).
Details on
wind energy
expansion plans
are not clear.
