gonna piggy-back on this to raise awareness about some of Austria's primal forests getting destroyed so they can build massive roads needed to transport concrete for wind mills. Austria usually uses reservoirs on the mountains which is a lot more effective (considering there is little wind). The "green" power generated is sold to neighboring countries. I've talked to the farmers who owned the land formerly ~2 years ago. They were acknowledging the damage but laughed it off as "not a big deal because we've already sold our soul when we said yes to ski resorts"
oddly the only party that opposed the plan was the right-wing populist party.
