An area of about eight football fields is necessary in order to generate through the installation of solar modules will provide enough electricity for a little more than 2000 households. Mathematically, of course, because if the Idsteiner in the winter half of the year, home to the light and turn on the TV, then the sun seems a long time ago. The large-scale Store Wind and solar power is still always in the children. Well, that electricity comes from the socket. Regardless of the seasonal course of the sun and to the whims of the wind.
The conflict that is now waged in Idstein to a more moderately profitable piece of arable land, is an example for the question, how do we keep it with a on this planet, not adding replaceable resource: the soil. What use is a piece of Land appropriate? On affordable housing construction and at the same time even more surfaces to seal? Trades to settle and create jobs? A refuge for endangered species show? Solar modules or wind turbines for a small contribution in the fight against climate change set up? Or even better, food growing and farming strengths? A General answer can not give. Neither in Idstein still elsewhere. In an already densely populated country, these answer in the individual case must be weighed carefully. Therefore, it is not good if Idstein decides in fast-track procedure, if the local climate protection concept is so important that three of the Region’s farmers important lease areas to be taken away. The solar Park can Fields be in perhaps two decades, in fact, re-cultivated, because the energy transition is then made, which is uncovered in the future.
