Sandl and the Saurüssel remain free of wind turbines

According to the wind power zone plan presented today, the areas around Sandl and the Saurüssel will be declared a red zone and will therefore remain wind turbine-free!

MFG sees it as a little Christmas miracle and is happy for the people and animals there, who can now breathe freely again.

On December 12th, the MFG again called for the closure of the Sandl wind farm. “As a representative of environmental protection, the MFG spoke out against the destructive construction of wind turbines around Sandl, but also in the other regions in Upper Austria, and supported the population against pseudo-climate protection.”said LAbg. Manuel Krautgartner, MFG-OÖ Klubobmann.

The Upper Austrian environmental lawyer Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Martin Donat does not see wind power as a decisive element in the energy issue in our state and sees hardly any suitable areas for building wind turbines and has repeatedly pointed out that our state is not a designated wind country.

The destruction of nature caused by wind farms is gigantic and should be prevented. Huge areas of forest are being destroyed and covered with concrete.

On the one hand, EU regulations must ensure the long-term preservation of natural habitats in Natura 2000 and, on the other hand, according to RED III, the energy transition must be promoted. A contradiction in terms. Krautgartner finds the statement by ÖVP state councilor Markus Achleitner in the press conference that the state of Upper Austria has to take action “because the federal government has failed on this issue (uniform nationwide requirements)” to be very notable and recalls the passage from his budget speech this year, where he asked the state ÖVP who had ruled the country in the last decades. Krautgartner sees here a further “buckling towards the EU and federal authorities”, otherwise the Nature Conservation State Councilor Haimbuchner and his FPÖ would agree to the MFG demands.

MFG demanded and still demands that ALL wind power projects be viewed from the perspective of environmental protection, human well-being and the resulting rising energy costs, to stop the destruction of our environment and is apparently the only party that remains on its clear line.
