The proposals to "wind citizens 'money" are half-baked. Meaningful new structures would be in the current trade.

From the proposal of the SPD speaks to the depths of despair. On the one hand, the Federal government has spent for the year 2030, the goal is to build a 65-percent share of Renewable in the German electricity mix to create. At the same time, they propagated with E-mobility and electric heat pumps for new power consumers. By now, the Expansion of wind power falls, the last largest pillar of the energy transition threatens to implode the whole concept.

As some headless be. To curtail the rights of citizens is a very sensitive issue, and should also consider, who is minded of the wind power, in principle, positive. After all, who doesn't know such a barrel open, where the debate ends. It is so great achievements, like the Union suit in the nature reserve could be right eroded.

payments to local residents, meanwhile – well, Yes, you can do. Of course, the accusation comes on then, you buy support. What is true, of course, but if one is honest, one must acknowledge that financial compensation for personal disadvantages in terms of Economics, are quite common. And if the actors are free to accept or refuse, it's also a freedom to Think.

And yet there is a much better concept. Namely, the propagated just a few days ago, the Institute for world economy in Kiel, Germany needs of regional electricity markets. Today's stock market trading, established a nationwide uniform price for electricity in the wholesale, irrespective of where the electricity is generated and where it is consumed, not anymore.

regional markets, there would be a logical consequence: Where there is a lot of electricity, it is cheaper, where it is scarce, expensive. Then each Region can decide for themselves whether they accept higher electricity prices, and regional production invested. Since it needs no panic "Lex wind power" with capped citizens ' rights and no Grants for residents – what are the pots too.
