Germany's Renewable Plan Faces Popular Resistance

Posted by timothy on from the maybe-they-should-try-low-resistance-wire dept.

diegocg writes "Germany has outlined the details of the new 800km (497mi) high voltage power link that will transport renewable power from the north to the industrial south. It is part of the Energiewende plan to replace nuclear power and most other non-renewable energy sources with renewable sources in the next decades. However, the power link is facing a problem: popular resistance from affected neighborhoods."

    So you're saying a policy where you replace 20% of your power generation with eco darling renewables and offset the cost of those extravagantly expensive sources with the cheapest, filthiest crap on Earth for the 80% part isn't particularly admirable?
