Dispute over wind power: Stadtlengsfeld fights for forest protection!
in Stadtlengsfeld, a quiet place in the Wartburg district, has taken place on a conversation for the planned wind power use, in which various interest groups met. In addition to district administrator Michael Brodführer, Mayor Thomas Hugk and Member of the Landtag Martin Henkel (all CDU), the citizens' initiative against the W-4 wind power area invited to conduct a common dialogue and to develop solutions how Feature) (https://www.insuedthueringen.de/inhalt.windkraft-im-wartburgkreis-landrat-fuer-ergiemix.e6da6e38-cee6-ba2a80e9111152c81.html) reports.
The obstacle on the way to a balanced energy mix is particularly faced with the resistance of the citizens' initiative. This has recently completed her campaign year 2023 in the Feldatalhalle and looked back on a versatile activity. Over 100 citizens, including activists from various wind power -critical initiatives in Thuringia, came to appreciate the development of the past few months and to discuss the plans for 2024. "The protection of Thuringia's forest and biodiversity must be in the top priority," emphasized BI spokesman Ralf Adam and criticized the state and traffic lights.
nature conservation versus wind power
The debate about wind power in the forest has increased in sharpness in Thuringia. Member of the state parliament Martin Henkel expressed that he already sees the energy transition as failed. "The economic prospects are cloudy," he said, hoping for a turn after the upcoming elections next year. In this context, the city forester Bernd Hoffmann asked the crucial question of whether the protection of nature should be sacrificed for the construction of wind turbines, and spoke out for reforestation projects in the city forest.
The opposition votes in the state parliament, on the other hand, require strict requirements for wind turbine construction, which the red-red-green minority government sees as "incompatible with the Basic Law", so that a lawsuit is sought in front of both constitutional courts. [taz reports that the state government is planning to reserve 2.2 percent of Thuringia for wind energy by 2032. However, this proportion is currently less than one percent, and the fault in society can be clearly felt.
Current developments and challenges
In Stadtlengsfeld, a new brochure of the citizens' initiative is also presented, which is intended to shed light on the risks of wind power use. Under the title "(K) a license to print money?" it stimulates the critical examination of the topic and provides information about current developments in the region. At the final event, those present had the opportunity to collect signatures against the construction of wind turbines in forests.
The passion of this citizens' initiative illustrates how deep the gap between political decision -makers and concerned citizens is. The concerns about the preservation of the forests are at the center of the discussion, and the different attitude towards wind power projects reflects the far -reaching conflicts in Thuringian society. The dialogue between citizens and politics remains crucial to find possible solutions that meet both the climate boards and nature conservation.
