Article in Natur + Umwelt 3-2015, pp. 15-25, see p. 20 and www.bund-naturschutz.de/themen/wasser/wasserkraft.html, Sebastian Schönauer writes: New hydropower plants are planned in Gemany under the (wrong) pretext that might forward the so called green energy supply. Power generation by hydropower plants in Germany at rivers and lakes delivers a supply already of 60 per cent – with devastating consequences.
All small hydro power plants (under 1,000 kw) deliver only 1.5 per cent of the complete power generation in Southern Germany, i.e. Bavaria. Please read yourself about the cruel and damaging effects of these hydro power plants by your translaters, I can not do! However, there seem to be good Germans who want to conserve and help against the politicians & concrete lobby to save so many endangered species in the last natural part of huge river Donau between Straubing and Vilshofen. On only 0.5 per cent of the Southern German / Bavarian states area live 46 per cent of endangered fish species and 32 per cent of endangered birds, and so on! Please consider that you are loved by your good deeds, never ever by greed!
