Germany’s government has not only taken a wrecking ball to the nation in terms of COVID, but also to its biodiversity in its self-deluded bid to protect the climate.

Clearing of 2000 hectares in one of the last undisturbed forests has begun as State of Hesse issues the construction approval for massive industrial wind park.  Image:  https://rettet-den-reinhardswald.de/.

“Grimm’s fairy tale forest”

About a year ago we reported on disturbing plans by the government of the German state of Hesse to clear 20 million square meters of 1000-year old “fairy tale” forest in one of Germany’s most idyllic, fairy tale-like forests: the Reinhardswald located in the hilly region west of the city of Göttingen.

The Reinhardswald is known as the “treasure house of European forests” or the “Grimm’s fairy tale forest”.

A total of about 2000 hectares ( 20 million m²) of the thousand-year-old Reinhardswald was designated for destruction by the state in order to clear the way for a massive wind power plant development.

Just another nation killing itself by suicide in the name of being "woke".
Get woke, Go broke.

If wind power were efficient and cost-effective, one would not need to destroy an entire old-growth forest to employ it.

And what of that forest: how much CO₂ will no longer be consumed, and O₂ produced by those trees, and how will that help the environment?

And how much fossil-fueled energy will be consumed in the act of destroying the forest and building unsightly, high-maintenance structures whose greatest efficiency might be killing entire flocks of birds?

Sounds like something liberals would do.
