Race in the Alps: Dozens of mountain railways plan large solar plants on mountain pastures (Germam)

  1. There are some evidence that solar farms on pastoral grounds increase animal well-being thanks to shading, and doesn’t impact the land use. (Don’t have the sources at hand, just from memory, do what you want with that info)

  2. Dear u/BezugssystemCH1903 You will not like the following;

    Bergbahnen does not mean mountain railways. Specially as there are not dozens of them. The Bergbahnen in question, are the operators of the lifts, cablecars, etc. in skiresorts.

  3. Absolutely fucking not! Put that stuff in Mittelland, that’s already destroyed. Leave the farms untouched!

  4. And that’s why suddenly FDP and SVP are keen on green energy:

    use that argument to soften up environmental protection laws. Got to monetise these spaces, no matter what – nothing shall be “unproductive”.

    Not like we have a ton of already developed spaces that we could instead plaster with solar panels *cough* house rooves. But we can’t really have a “democrasation” of power production.

    So plastering nature in the name of saving nature it is!
