Don't forget that Merkel's coalition surrounded wind energy with huge amount of red tape and regulations that basically resulted in almost zero new wind turbines built in last few years.

Spoils the landscape image view is apparently a valid argument to block their construction, so you just need enough signatures every time a new construction site gets announced.
