Germany’s environmentally destructive technocracy.
Hat-tip: Blackout News here.
In the Reinhardswald near Kassel, known as the Fairytale Forest, a previously untouched natural and cultural landscape with trees over 500 years old, is today being irreversibly destroyed. Why? To protect nature and the climate, the wind industry and green proponents claim.
How it’ll look when it’s done.
It’s a great environmental tragedy and crime against nature
The region, which plays a central role in the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, is being transformed into a large-scale industrial construction site comprising of 18 large scale turbines.
To build the 244-meter-high wind turbines, large roads are cut into the forest, thousands of trees felled, slopes leveled and large quantities of gravel piled up on the forest floor. All this will cause irreversible damage and destruction to the forest biotope. Critics and conservationists emphasize that the extent of the destruction goes far beyond what one would expect from the construction of a wind turbine in an open field.
The local population, in particular the seven surrounding communities, are protesting unitedly against the project and have organized themselves into citizens’ initiatives. But despite the opposition and ongoing legal proceedings, construction work is progressing rapidly. The project’s critics say the destruction is taking place under the guise of the energy transition and the concerns expressed by the regional population are being totally ignored.
The Reinhardswald, which once embodied German romanticism, is being turned into an industrial area where nature, culture and history are being lost. The fairy-tale forest is becoming a memorial symbolizing the victory of technocracy over attachment to the homeland and the irretrievable loss of a unique ecosystem.
“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse?
Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” – Maurice Strong,

In order for the revolution to be successful the culture needs to collapse as well..
They keep saying they need to destroy civilization because it stands in the way of the glorious future they’re planning to build. But when the people who say that so obviously love destruction for its own sake; when they so obviously hate creation (and Creation); when they’ve never built anything in their lives; when they come from a long intellectual line of destroyers; when they lie about everything else …who do they think they’re fooling?
We have to destroy the forest in order to save it.
The “Fairytale forest” isn’t being felled to provide wind-power for the population it’s to provide wind-fall profit for the people pushing the blunder. Getting the cause/effect correct isn’t part of the current conversation. Germany really does have some issues with their enegiewende error.
Hah…
Saving the planet, by turning it into a wasteland.
The hypocrisy!
Truly insane. These criminals should be behind bars. Rise up people and stop it.
Meanwhile in the daft UK – a supplier of wind turbine parts has gone bust – because of the cost of renewable energy !
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2025/06/22/uk-wind-turbine-supplier-to-close-due-to-high-energy-costs/
Wigan-based Electric Glass Fiber UK (EGFU), which is owned by Nippon Electric Glass (NEG), makes vital components used in wind turbines and electric cars. Its closure puts net zero supply chains under threat.
Don’t worry, industry is about to be subsidised by the taxpayer/domestic bill payer/gas user etc. It still won’t be enough to make us competitive, at least the last proper wealth creating employer to leave the country won’t actually need to turn the lights off.
AI news summary:-
‘To reduce industry energy costs, the UK government is implementing measures like the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme, which aims to cut electricity costs by up to £40 per megawatt hour for over 7,000 electricity-intensive businesses from 2027. Additionally, the British Industry Supercharger will increase discounts on energy prices for energy-intensive industries like steel, chemicals, and glass, from 60% to 90% from 2026. These initiatives are part of a broader strategy to boost industrial competitiveness, protect jobs, and encourage future investment. ‘
So rob Peter to pay Paul.
Here’s an idea. Build coal and gas plants and have plentiful cheap AND reliable power. No subsidies, mandates or “discounts” needed.
Correct. The economic illiteracy of Labour politicians is off the scale.
It doesn’t get any grimmer than that. For God’s sake, people, WAKE UP! Look what the Climate Industrial Complex is actually doing in the name of “saving the planet”. SMH.
Follow the money. Who is being paid and getting rich for this destruction? Names. Addresses. Phone numbers. Source of funds.
Could you possibly put some more PHOTOS of the area in your article, so that we can actually see what you are talking about? How difficult could it be? Do you not have a clue how to sell a story? You might as well just have shown a close up photo of a random wind turbine and have done with it.

Is the Black Forest safe? Which forest was an entire Roman Legion destroyed in?
It’s a pretty old story, was doing the rounds ages ago, no less stupid though.
You see the same tree cutting down nonsense for turbines and the transmission lines all over the world, from Scotland to Tasmania (the same story, not an interconnector!).
The climatistas don’t mind cutting trees for wind and solar “farms”- but they hate trees being cut for wood products even if the work is professionally managed.
Relax it’s all under control with more green jobs (The Australian 23/6/2025)-
For much of his career, Dr Shaun Fitzgerald of the University of Cambridge worked on trying to cut the amount of carbon we pump into the atmosphere.
Five years ago, he shifted his focus.
“We’ve been talking about reducing emissions for decades,” he said. “The truth is, they’re still rising.”
He turned his attention to something more radical. Could we, he wondered, refreeze the Arctic?
The idea has serious backing. In June, the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria) – a government body created to back “ideas on the edge of what’s possible” – awarded a team led by Fitzgerald £10 million ($20.9m AUD).
The money will be spent on exploring whether it might be possible to use hundreds of thousands of robots to thicken and prolong the life of a portion of the sea ice that forms each winter across the High Arctic.
His elevator doesn’t go all the way up.
10MM Pounds to do a do-nothing study? Easy money.
The stupid. It burns. Won’t that melt the ice?
Only an idiot thinks we “need” *more frozen wastelands.*
Green ideology wrecks more than you love.
Not even one tree should be sacrificed for wind or solar.
