Wind power mediators in Hesse
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
The state of Hesse is offering mediators to communities likely to oppose wind turbines to allow parties to discuss issues in a fact-based and target-oriented manner, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports. More than 35 councils have used the mediators since 2014 to intervene when wind-power proponents and opponents reached deadlock, but are now often called in at the beginning of the participation process, Hesse’s Green economy minister Tarek Al-Wazir said at a press conference. The oppositional Liberal Democrats have accused the citizen mediators of themselves pushing for more wind power.
