Conservationists in Germany are incensed as 120,000 trees in an ancient forest have started to be felled in order to make way for a wind farm.

The forest in Sababurg, Reinhardswald, which is in the central German state of Hesse, is said to be an inspiration for the Brothers Grimm mythical tales, but now it’s being destroyed to facilitate the country’s latest green energy project.

The site of the tree-toppling is next to the famous Sleeping Beauty Castle, which takes its name due to its fairytale architecture and its proximity to the mystical forest.

However, now the castle will be in close proximity to a field of wind turbines.

They are truly insane. They cannot think. They are in denial of reality.

Trees are better for the earth than windmills.

The eco-freaks are angry about the latest outrage by the eco-freaks. I imagine this will become yet another strong argument in favor of a Green Communist dictatorship.

Germany is run by neo-marxist, hippie Euro-karens.

Their is no level of destruction and poverty they will not go to for their 21st century effeminate woke ideology

You have to destroy the environment to save it.

These trees were sacrificed so chinese factories and german politicians can survive.

All that Germany needs to do is let France show it how to set up a good nuclear power industry.

Probably needed the wood to burn for heat given they messed up their energy policy.

I wonder what they’re going to do with the wood.

Will they allow needy people to use that wood to heat their homes? I’d bet they won’t.

Yup. You want werewolves wandering around downtown, that’s how you get werewolves wandering around downtown.

Where are the German tree huggers? Where are the American tree huggers going over there to protest? I recall many tree hugging protests in the western part of the USA.

Hmm....Maybe to preserve their carbon footprint they can build hi-tek CO2 capture industrial plants to replace all the trees that used to do that for free, and better.

Stupid bucket head d*cks.

You’re both a couple of optimists. They’ll destroy the trees and render them useless and unobtainable, because it would be immoral for humans to benefit from the murder of trees.
