Mayor of Feldberg advocates wind turbines. Since the summit is not forested, there is no need to clear any forests.
Because of the high wind speeds, the wind turbines could also be smaller. The Feldberg is the largest ski area in the country and the habitat of many rare animals and plants. That's why it was placed under nature protection in 1937. This year, the green-black state government wants to build 100 new wind turbines in the southwest. Only 16 new turbines with a total output of 62 megawatts were built last year.
