Conservationists in Germany are incensed as 120,000 trees in an ancient forest have started to be felled in order to make way for a wind farm.

The forest in Sababurg, Reinhardswald, which is in the central German state of Hesse, is said to be an inspiration for the Brothers Grimm mythical tales, but now it’s being destroyed to facilitate the country’s latest green energy project.

The site of the tree-toppling is next to the famous Sleeping Beauty Castle, which takes its name due to its fairytale architecture and its proximity to the mystical forest.

However, now the castle will be in close proximity to a field of wind turbines.

Germans suck. Evidently they learned noting from having to burn furniture after turning off their nuke plants.

It is a beautiful area. I use to ride my motorcycle through that route on my yearly two week cruise through the Alps.

Germans are a suicidal guilt ridden people. They like suffering for the “greater good.” The government tells them they need to save the planet, they will suffer to make the government happy.

They had all the cheap gas they could buy from Russia. But they and SC and London couldn’t stop screwing with Russia and started a war. Then we blow up their pipelines.

Germany sucks

+++++++++++

I so agree with you. During my childhood, my parents took my brother and I to Germany multiple times in the 70’s and 80’s to visit relatives. The German forests were breathtakingly beautiful. I so hate these arschloch’s for trashing these things of natural beauty only to replace it with fooking ugly and useless windmills.

Whatever the Germans do, Do the opposite. Also good policy when it comes to democrats.

Germany & Austria actually have some very large sawmill corporations.
Look up:

Binder Holtz
Schwaiger Holtz Industries
HS Timber
Pfeifer Group Timber
Mercer Timber

My company buys lumber from several of these companies.
FYI, holtz means wood in German.

Krauts are Arschgesichteren. Always have been. The only mistake we made in WWII was in not dropping nukes on the remaining blockhead cities as well as the two in Japan.

Yes, everybody knows it's better for Global Climate Change to cut down carbon-sequestering trees to make room for windmills than it is to just leave the trees in place.

Unless even these buffoons know that the whole CO2 thing is a money-grabbing scam...

I thought trees were good for the environment. I believe they turn carbon dioxide gasses into oxygen. I don’t think a wind turbine can do that. I guess the Germans don’t want to breathe.

Put a round in the head of a bulldozer/excavator operator. And send a letter to the con, or destruction company with the names of their employees' children and the schools they attend.

The Brothers Grimm were just a couple of white guys. Therefore, whatever might have inspired their work, not to mention their work itself (which is mostly white people folklore) is irrelevant, and in fact, must be erased from history, per the Ministry of Truth.

OMG. SO glad I saw Germany and a good part of (formerly beautiful and Muslim migrant-free) Europe when I was younger.

"The site of the tree-toppling is next to the famous Sleeping Beauty Castle, which takes its name due to its fairytale architecture and its proximity to the mystical forest."

What a shame if some resonant vibration from the turbines fractures the structural integrity of the castle.

Once a nazi, always a nazi. You can take the boy of the nazis, but you can't take the nazi out of the boy.

Windmill is the new swastika.

Germany seems to lose their collective mind every 50 years or so.
