Wind projects in the district of Böblingen – Spitalwald Herrenberg – Wolfgang Epple's new film on the effects of wind farms.
redazione Giannina Puddu, 25 February 2025.
My continuous research relating to industrial-sized wind farms in Sardinia, in Italy, in Europe and in the world, allowed me to learn of the launch of this new film made by the German biologist Wolfgang Epple, available with subtitles and offered free of charge in these days of February.
The result is a brilliant analysis of the brutal wind energy projects in the Spitalwald and Maurener Wald in the district of Böblingen.
The film highlights various aspects of the wind industry and shows which intact landscapes and forests would be lost.
This is a current document on our natural resources, as we still have them today, and a summary of the main problems.
Overall, it also provides a historical and geographical overview of this region and calls for the protection of this beautiful landscape with its open horizons and forests populated by wildlife.
It can be said with certainty that this film represents an enrichment for all the inhabitants of Gäu and the district of Böblingen, lovers of their fascinating cultural landscape.
But it will also win over many other people from Baden-Württemberg and will deeply touch many viewers, because it will lead to conclude: 12 wind turbines in the Spitalwald would spell its end, because wind energy destroys all social functions.
The lives of humans and animals would be less worth living or no longer worth living.
