  Germany Begins Felling 120,000 Trees From ‘Fairy Tale’ Forest to Make Way for Wind Turbines BY   CHRIS MORRISON The windmills are spinning golden subsidies in the central German ‘fairy tale’ forest of Reinhardswald, but the payment is the partial destruction of the 1,000 year-old ancient wood itself. Work has started on the clearing of up to 120,000 trees in the forest, the setting for many of the Brothers Grimm mythical stories, to provide access for an initial 18 giant wind turbines around the Sababurg ‘Sleeping Beauty’ castle. Who is opposing this massive destruction of the ancient forest teeming with wildlife with trees over 200 years old? Certainly not the Green party, now in power at national and local level. In fact the project is being led by local Hesse Green Minister Priska Hinz who is  reported to have said : “Wind energy makes a decisive contribution to the energy transition and the preservation of nature.

  Impoverishing Everyone to Save Gaia Brandon J. Weichert  •  Welcome to your ecochondriacal future, Detroit. Detroit is a city that has been  wasted  by the ravages of globalization. Once the hub of the world's automotive industry, by the late twentieth century, much of America's manufacturing industry  had been shipped  overseas. By the time of the Great Recession of 2008, Detroit was on the front lines of economic devastation of that crisis. Today, Detroit is a shadow of its past glory.

  Largest EV Charging Station In World Powered By Diesel-Powered Generators The Harris Ranch Tesla Supercharger station is an impressive beast. With 98 charging bays, the facility in Coalinga, California, is the largest charging station in the world. But to provide that kind of power takes something solar can’t provide — diesel generators. Kevin Killough The Harris Ranch Tesla Supercharger station is an impressive beast. With 98 charging bays, the facility in Coalinga, California, is the largest charging station in the world. In 2017, Tesla CEO said that all Superchargers in the automaker’s network were being converted to solar.  “Over time, almost all will disconnect from the electricity grid,” Musk  posted  on X, formally known as Twitter.  Superchargers charge vehicles up to the 80% sweet spot in as little as 20 minutes, but to provide that kind of power for nearly 100 bays takes something solar can’t provide — diesel generators.  Investigative journalist Edward Niedermeyer  discove
