Stop the wind power madness! AfD calls for a moratorium on environmental destructionMoratorium for wind power madness: AfD motion exposes the failure of green-red energy policy in Saxony-Anhalt. 
While the state government and its coalition partners continue to rely on ideological land-use targets and wind industrialization, the AfD parliamentary group presented a clear alternative on 20.05.2026 with its motion “Moratorium on wind power! End land-use compulsion – protect forests and nature conservation areas from wind industry installations” (Drs. 8/6969). The motion calls for the protection of forests, nature conservation areas, national parks, biosphere reserves, and Natura 2000 sites from the wind power industry, and for the state government to advocate in the Bundesrat for corresponding exclusion regulations. Instead of a real debate, the motion was referred to committees – a typical maneuver to delay uncomfortable truths. Daniel Roi (AfD) introduced the motion and painted a stark picture of reality: “Green and left climate extremism certainly also includes the construction of wind turbines, and we already have more than enough of them in Saxony-Anhalt. You from the old parties always want more. You now even want to install wind turbines in forests, closer and closer to residential areas.” He pointed to broken promises in the Dübener Heide and criticized the double standards: “Publicly, for example, it currently says on the Greens’ website in Detmold: wind power yes, but not in forests and only responsibly.” Roi cited concrete figures on failure: “In April, [Federal Minister Reiche] said in the Bundestag: every year we are wasting €3 billion.” These redispatch costs, which are rising massively, burden taxpayers just like increasing negative electricity prices, where surplus power must be curtailed or exported at great expense. Roi also questioned the climate policy’s scientific basis: even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had recently withdrawn its worst climate model because it was implausible. 46 members of the climate council have since criticized the IPCC, arguing that data was not taken into account and models were deliberately designed to generate panic and fear of climate change. “Your climate extremism has failed,” Roi said. Petra Grimm-Benne (minister) defended the land-use targets as a “correct and important step” and claimed that forest areas are “hardly or not at all” affected. Only 0.13% of forest area in one region is said to be impacted. However, this selective accounting ignores the fundamental land-use compulsion and the real interventions in sensitive ecosystems. Michael Scheffler (CDU) acknowledged problems without drawing consequences: “In my opinion, the rigid wind area targets should be abolished. [...] The expansion of generation has outpaced grid expansion. This is exactly what causes the following problems [...] rising redispatch costs, increasing system interventions, and growing burdens for citizens and businesses.” He even referred to record negative prices, such as on May Day. Nevertheless, he only advocated referral to committees instead of a clear moratorium – typical for a party that shares responsibility at both federal and state level. Sebastian Striegel (GREENS) delivered the ideological counterpoint: “Whoever loves the forest protects it from its greatest threat: the climate crisis.” He downplayed damaged forest areas and accused the AfD of hypocrisy. In doing so, he ignores that it is precisely the one-sided energy transition with its volatile renewables that is driving up grid problems and costs. Marco Heide (The Left) claimed that renewables lower electricity prices and accused the AfD of causing greater environmental destruction. However, the reality of rising redispatch costs (over €10 billion in four years nationwide) and negative prices subsidized by taxpayers tells a different story. Kathrin Tarricone (FDP) warned against interference with property rights and uncontrolled expansion, but also supported referral to committee. She admitted that there are acceptance problems in rural areas. Dr. Falko Grube (SPD) defended the rapid definition of land-use targets and warned against uncontrolled expansion outside designated priority areas. At the same time, he admitted that the coalition is not united in its assessment – a remarkable admission. The debate reveals the core problem of government policy: despite obvious mismanagement – electricity is generated where it is not needed, grids cannot keep up, storage is lacking – the focus remains on land-use compulsion and expansion at any cost. Citizens in regions such as the Dübener Heide or Muldestausee are already feeling the consequences: landscape degradation, declining acceptance, and rising costs. The AfD calls for a moratorium and demand-oriented planning instead of square-meter ideology. The established parties respond by postponing into committees and muddling through. The energy transition in its current form destroys prosperity, damages nature in the name of environmental protection, and places massive burdens on citizens and businesses. A moratorium on further folly and an honest reassessment are long overdue. Author: AI-Translation - AI-Translation - АИИ | |
