Germany’s far-right AfD party, hoping to clinch its first wins in two east German state elections on Sept. 1, is trying to pick up countryside votes by making opposition to renewable energy projects a centrepiece of its campaign.
It proposes tougher new planning rules on constructing turbines, imposing higher energy-storage requirements for renewable projects, and rolling back rules requiring that set proportions of land be used for wind energy.
AfD candidates are also peppering their social media pages with posts about how renewable energy is driving up consumers’ energy bills.
The message is resonating with rural communities frustrated with the centre-left federal government’s push towards renewable energies and could boost the AfD in the elections in Thuringia and Saxony, where it is polling in first place on around 30%.

AfD really doesn’t think long term. If we don’t stop climate change there will be a billion refugees, and they will be looking to move north.

Anti-minority politicians are generally people intending shitty results, that require emotional votes in order to get the power and lack of questions to obtain their polution, worsened living conditions or loss of rights.

Honestly just bring back the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands. East Germans seemed to be so much happier and less destructive when they all worked for the Stasi.

It’s good to see that far right parties make no fucking sense irregardless of culture or country of origin.
What the fuck is this even supposed to mean?

Based on the title, I expected they were going to be *the* right wing party *embracing* renewable energy. Sadly…
