Wind power debate in Heigenbrücken: Citizens demand former assembly!

Jakobsthal, Deutschland - In Heigenbrücken it is bubbling! At a heated citizens' meeting that heated the minds, the mayor Drechsler presented the figures on wind turbines. He urged: Anyone who rejects the potential areas foregoing important income for the community. But the residents were anything but enthusiastic. The areas around Heigenbrücken have already been deleted from the planning, only a small area with Jakobsthal remains. Drechsler calculated that a maximum of five wind turbines could be built there, but that caused loud contradiction in the hall!

dispute over wind power and civil rights

The mood was tense when the citizens loudly expressed their criticism. Stefan Englert and Karl Sternheimer vehemently demanded that the meeting should have taken place much earlier. They made it clear that the mayor had not reached anything, the citizens' initiative of the wind power opponents "suffocated in the germ". A citizen asked the question of the lifespan of the wind turbines. The mayor said they were operated about 20 years before they could be broken down or continued. But the audience was skeptical whether the financial reserves would be sufficient in the event of the operator's bankruptcy.

discrepancies and signatures

Martina Ulmer from Jakobsthal said: Why was there no prior advice in the local council on area W 13? The mayor defended himself against the allegations that the meeting was too late. "Only with the facts does a meeting make sense," he said. A citizen countered the flat -rate statements about the rejection of wind power by the Heigenbrücken. Sternheimer bragged over 900 signatures against the wind turbines, while a woman from Jakobsthal replied that no signatures had been collected in her district. The conflict is pussy and the citizens announced that he would object to the plans. The discussion remains tense and shows how deep the trenches between supporters and opponents of wind power.
