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."

  1. "popular resistance"? by Mr.+Slippery · · Score: 5, Informative

    TFA article does not use the term "popular resistance", but properly labels it "not-in-my-backyard" resistance. TFA notes that "Germanyâ(TM)s Energiewende, or energy transformation, has enjoyed widespread citizen support.".

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