Climate Protection or Land Grab? – Large Solar Park Planned Between A9 and WeißenfelsThe company RES Deutschland GmbH submitted an application for preliminary approval to the Burgenlandkreis for the construction of a ground-mounted photovoltaic system along the A9 motorway (Solar Park Zorbau). 
Since the area where this ground-mounted photovoltaic system is to be installed belongs partly to Lützen (Zorbau) and partly to Weißenfels, the approval process lies with the Burgenlandkreis. Nevertheless, the city council of Weißenfels must also approve the project. 
The resolution proposal for the Urban Development Committee, submitted by Weißenfels Mayor Martin Papke, was rejected with 6 votes against, 5 in favor, and 3 abstentions. Among the expert citizens, there were 0 supporters, 1 opposing vote, and 3 abstentions. On September 4, 2025, the Weißenfels City Council will vote on the project. Protest, Politics, Paradox! – Memories of the IKIGOnly a few months ago, the IKIG (Intermunicipal Industrial Zone) was approved despite numerous protests. At the A9 junction toward Zeitz, farmland with very high soil quality is to be sealed off for industrial development.Now, on the other side of the A9, farmland is again set to be sealed off – this time for the planned solar park. The obvious question: Why wasn’t this land considered for industrial or commercial settlement, if it is now deemed suitable for a photovoltaic system? Coal Phase-Out, Solar Power, and Endless ContradictionsBoth the IKIG and the ground-mounted photovoltaic system are linked to the energy transition, the coal phase-out, the dream of energy from sun and wind, and the forced structural transformation. The goal is to reduce the “evil CO2” – at least the share caused by humans.But the contradictions are striking: It is said that rising CO2 levels lead to atmospheric warming, making global agriculture more difficult. At the same time, valuable farmland with excellent soil quality is being sealed off, removing it from food production. Logically, other areas should be used for photovoltaics – but logic seems to play no decisive role in this debate. Solar Power Surplus – and the Law of LimitsThe so-called “Solar Peak Law” has been introduced. Even now, there is too much solar power in the grid at peak times. In the future, there will be no EEG subsidy if the electricity price on the stock exchange is negative. Large-scale ground-mounted systems are therefore only conditionally profitable. Whether the solar park will still pay off is up to RES Deutschland GmbH to decide.The CO2 Myth – Numbers That Should Make You ThinkCO2 is a trace gas, making up about 0.04 percent (400 ppm) of the atmosphere. Of this, around 97 percent is of natural origin (388 ppm). Only 12 ppm result from human activity. Germany’s share is about 1.7 percent – that is, 0.216 ppm. Everyone can judge for themselves whether this tiny amount justifies the immense costs of structural transformation and the energy transition, especially since it is accompanied by job losses.Energy in Germany has not become cheaper compared to the global market – quite the opposite. This has contributed to major problems and bankruptcies in industry. Studies Under Fire – Is the Climate Change Narrative Crumbling?Recently, it became known that a much-cited study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) contains serious flaws: unclear models, missing foundations, contradictory data, methodological errors, anomalies – and, according to critics, “no scientific basis whatsoever.” In addition, critics point out that PIK is not independent due to financial entanglements (Climate Works, NGFS).It also came to light that outdated or deactivated weather stations are still being used as data sources – some no longer exist at all. Nevertheless, these “emulated” (invented) data are still included in studies and forecasts. Climate Change, Corona, and Citizens’ DoubtsThe narrative of man-made climate change is showing more and more cracks. The parallels to the Corona pandemic are striking: shaky data, contradictory statements, political pressure. Critics also raise concerns that this solar park reduces the habitats of wild animals.Yet, considering the procedure surrounding the IKIG, it seems likely that the solar park will also be pushed through – despite the sealing of farmland and the reduction in food production. One could argue that this area is negligible compared to the total amount of agricultural land. But 0.216 ppm of CO2 is also negligible – and yet politics are being made with this argument.
