From Semafor’s J.D. Capelouto:
Germany has long been a global wind power leader, but a slowdown in expansion and an effective campaign from the far fight threatens to dent its reputation for clean energy.
The Alternative für Deutschland party has made its NIMBY-like opposition to wind a central plank of its platform, pushing the debate over renewable energy to the forefront ahead of three state elections in eastern Germany. The AfD could finish in first place on Sunday in two of those states — Saxony and Thüringia — which were once part of the communist German Democratic Republic.
Some elements of their anti-wind playbook are similar to right-wing talking points in the US or elsewhere in Europe. (Donald Trump this week said wind power “kills the birds, it destroys the fields.”) But in marrying populist talking points with arguments that appeal to simmering local frustrations about clean energy, the AfD’s campaign has developed a novel tactic that seems to have caught on with the electorate.
“If you consider why people consciously or unconsciously decide to live in the countryside… then the quality of life of these people is impaired by the wind industry,” Nadine Hoffman, a member of the Thüringen state legislature and the AfD’s local spokesperson for environmental and energy policy, told Semafor. “The rejection is natural.”

AfD – ich töte Hirnzellen!
I would assume right wing parties in any country will be patriotic and will look out for the interests of their people. But why do most of them have such horrible policies?
I wish we could ask ourselves honestly : is being against wind power extreme right, or is it a position they’re happy to take on board to gain votes, simply because it is quite popular for a variety of reasons (some fake, others difficult to counter) and the consensus Energiewende push from traditional parties leaves them that space ?
“Those fucking wind turbines blow so much wind and make climate change! There is no alternative to russian gas!!!” – AfD, probably
Oh hey – heard of this one before! Polish fundamentalists (mainly among Suwerenna Polska) got bribed by the coal lobby to make anti-wind propaganda too.
Let’s ban everything! Nuclear! Wind!
Just not Russian gas!
Clowns 🤡
Wind power is almost the cleanest energy you can think of. Denying it is either dumb or malicious.
Peak NIMBY performance
German far right is brain dead.
Maybe they could stop creating so much hot air.
Policy straight from the GRU headquarters.
Traitorous Nazis.
They are so full of shit, and they know it. But they don’t care because they are just evil.
