Aiwanger is looking for the wind farm conversation: Wind turbines are built “whether citizens want it or not”. Two new wind turbines, 2,800 solar roof systems and 50 hectares of open space solar systems must be built every week in Bavaria if the Free State is to be climate neutral in 2040.
The energy company Qair wants to build 40 200-meter-high wind turbines in the Altöttinger Forest and put them into operation in three years. According to Qair, one hectare of forest has to be cleared for each wind turbine.
