Saxony and Bavaria bring an initiative to wind power
Saxony and Bavaria have introduced an initiative to wind power in the Federal Council on Thursday. It’s about the distance from wind turbines to settlements. Then the distance of such plants to houses should be at least ten times the height of a wind turbine. The Saxon Economy Minister Sven Morlok said, it is a matter, targeted to control the construction of wind farms and protect the citizens against sprawl. From the opposition comes criticism. . Thus the energy change was being boycotted, it said. The proposed law had been decided by the State Governments of the two republics at a joint cabinet meeting in July 2013. The Federal Council is to deal in March with the advance of the two German states.
