“Old, unfit concepts”

Windkraft-Journal

Green politician Hans-Josef Fell criticises the federal government for proposing in its recently published "Concept for Civil Defence” only “old, unfit concepts” such as military and police protection to deal with consequences of attacks or catastrophes like extensive power outages. In an opinion piece in Windkraft-Journal, Fell emphasises the benefits of citizens’ energy projects. He argues that supporting a decentralised electricity supply through renewable energies, especially for critical infrastructure like hospitals or water supply, would be a “better way to make German society crisis-proof”.
