German journalist Georg Etscheit explains why in a commentary at Achgut.com here as Germany moves ahead at full speed with wind energy.
Etscheit names 5 environmental reasons why wind energy is leading to a Communist-scale environmental disaster in his article: "Wind power and its devastating consequences for people and nature."
"The ruthless way in which wind power is being pushed through in Germany is reminiscent of the brutal way in which the"concrete faction" wrecked many German cities in the post-war period.
" comments Etscheit, calling Germany's drive into wind energy "a run amok at the expense of people and nature."
Germany plans to add another 10,000 wind turbines in addition to its current 30,000, which means 2% of Germany's land area will be completely destroyed and industrialized, according to Etscheit.
"Wind turbines also have a significant impact on flying insects, as a study published in 2017 by the German Aerospace Center, Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Oberpfaffenhofen shows an estimated five to six billion insects per day at all German wind turbines during the warm season." Hazard also for marine fauna.
People near wind turbines often complain of "Severe health complaints such as insomnia, dizziness, headaches, depression, tinnitus, hearing and vision problems and cardiac arrhythmia", and experts warn this will increase dramatically, and turbine setback regulations in Germany are being watered down.
