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."

    Ohm's law will do that. Popular indeed.

    Submitter and editors either do not know what "popular resistance" means, or deliberately spun this post.

    It's obvious: popular resistance = popular voltage / popular current.

    But I can't help but wonder if the author intended to refer to popular impedance.
