SPD Minister Willingmann’s Green Fairy Tale: How Saxony-Anhalt “Saves” Its Municipalities with Wind Turbines and HandoutsOh, how heartwarming! Energy Minister Prof. Dr. Armin Willingmann tours the state and praises the great blessing of “local energy” at the annual meeting of the “Energy and Municipality” network in Bernburg. 
New wind turbines are supposed to finance playgrounds, solar parks are meant to save local heritage clubs – and everyone benefits! What noble, visionary politics. One almost feels compelled to kiss the minister’s hand out of sheer emotion. Or perhaps hold up a mirror to him. While Willingmann proudly announces the newly adopted Acceptance and Participation Act (in force since October 2025), proclaiming that municipalities may now collect a hefty €33,000 annually per 6-MW wind turbine — or €12,500 for a 5-MW photovoltaic installation — the towns and municipalities of Saxony-Anhalt are drowning in red ink. Record revenues? Nowhere to be seen in everyday reality. Despite alleged records, municipalities are juggling deficits, and debt has climbed to over €3.4 billion. Many are struggling with rising social spending, personnel costs, and chronic underfunding by the federal and state governments amounting to hundreds of millions. But hey: a few thousand euros for a new climbing tower next to a wind turbine — surely that will solve everything! What a brilliant financial concept. Bravo, Mr. Minister. Climate Prophets on the Run – and Politicians Keep Doubling DownParticularly refreshing is Willingmann’s unwavering faith in the supposedly “necessary” energy transition. Just recently, 46 scientists left the IPCC panel and withdrew the worst apocalyptic forecasts as highly unlikely. The 1.5-degree target? Already broken, exceeded in annual averages years ago. The prophesied end of the world? Never happened. Meanwhile, Saxony-Anhalt keeps spinning diligently in the green hamster wheel with nearly 2,700 wind turbines (5.74 GW) and more than 6 GW of solar power — a nationwide pioneer! 26,000 jobs in the sector, the press release cheers. How many of those are subsidy administrators and repair crews for deteriorating installations? Doesn’t matter, as long as it counts as “structural transformation.”Germany contributes a laughable mere 0.2 ppm to global CO₂ levels — and Saxony-Anhalt only a tiny fraction of that. Even if the state reduced itself completely to zero emissions, the world would keep turning while China and India continue building coal-fired power plants as if there were no tomorrow. Yet in Bernburg, people seriously philosophize about “local energy” supposedly saving us from “painful price spikes in fossil fuels.” What poetic framing for a policy that is wrecking its own industry. Negative Prices and the Great Slowdown – The Energy Transition Devours Its Own ChildrenThe crowning irony: while Willingmann campaigns to municipalities for further expansion (more than 2 GW of new wind power by 2028), his own federal government is slowing down the expansion of renewable energy. Why? Because the storage problem remains unsolved. When the sun shines, solar power floods the grid — and is either given away at negative prices or expensively curtailed. Germany literally pays to get rid of electricity. A masterpiece of central planning! The “clean” energy that is supposedly so valuable produces surpluses precisely when nobody needs it — and is absent when it’s dark and windless. But let’s build even more wind turbines and solar fields. For public acceptance. And for the playgrounds.The Acceptance Act is the icing on this hypocrisy: operators pay a few coins to municipalities so residents won’t complain quite so loudly anymore. A bribery law disguised as citizen participation. The real costs — grid expansion, storage systems, backup power plants, rising electricity prices for households and industry — are borne by taxpayers. The profits go to the facility operators. Classic redistribution from the bottom upward, painted green. Pointless Structural Transformation for a Non-Existent ProblemWillingmann’s “vigorous support” for local energy is a textbook example of ideological delusion. While municipalities struggle for financial survival, the economy stagnates, and real problems such as bureaucracy, high energy prices, and population decline are bleeding the state dry, he celebrates wind turbines as saviors. The apocalypse never came, the worst predictions were quietly shelved — and yet the insane transformation is still being pushed ahead at full speed.How much longer are the people of Saxony-Anhalt supposed to be told that a few euros for the local heritage club can compensate for the loss of prosperity, affordable energy, and industrial future? This is not politics. It is green self-therapy at the expense of the citizens. And it will end expensively. Very expensively. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
