Protest is taking shape in many regions – for a variety of reasons. The head of the Brandenburg Environment and Nature Conservation Union (BUND), Carsten Preuss, told the Niederlausitz online portal: “Now a race for arable land has begun. However, using arable land for huge solar parks is the wrong way to go. Instead, the potential of the roof area must be used consistently for photovoltaic systems in the future. ”The Brandenburg environmentalist emphasizes that arable land should be used for food and feed production.
In the community of Tempelfelde, against the background of the construction of a gigantic 200-hectare solar system, a citizens’ initiative has been formed. The municipality and the investors have been asked to enter into a dialogue – the investor in this case apparently being a large farm. It is noticeable that most of the large-scale plants are currently concentrating on the east – precisely because there are large contiguous arable land here.
In its appeal, the citizens’ initiative from Tempelfelde therefore also remembers the book by Juli Zeh – Unter Menschen – there the affair did not end well for the farmers involved.
The former civil rights activist and member of the Bundestag for the Greens, Werner Schulz, told the RBB about the 200 hectare mega-facility in Haßleben in the Ueckermärkischen Haßleben: “We have seen many undesirable developments in East Germany – oversized sewage treatment plants, incorrectly designated industrial areas. And we are again dealing with something where such a wild growth has broken out and the east is again becoming a field of experimentation, in this case for financial sharks ”.
In Schulze’s opinion, a moratorium should therefore be agreed – that is, suspend the permits – in order to stop such mega-projects first and then to decide how to proceed. Incidentally, this is what the BUND also wants.
