Bavaria's state forests expect rush for wind power in the forestIt's been a good three years since Minister President and CSU leader Markus Söder announced the rapid construction of at least a hundred wind turbines in Bavaria's state forests. Söder had apparently not considered that there are only very few state forests in Bavaria that meet this requirement. Not a single new wind turbine has been installed in the state forests since 2019. But now the Bavarian State Forests (BaySF), which manage the state forests, are expecting a run on the state forests. That's because Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Green Party) has forced Söder and the opponents of wind power in the CSU to at least somewhat soften their previous blockade policy against wind power with his Wind Power on Land Act.
