Power - Saarland's parliament approves measures to increase the number of wind turbines.
Due to an update in the Forest Law, historical forest areas in state-owned forests may become open to wind energy plants. While vital forest ecosystem parts can remain protected, other areas will no longer have such protection.
Critics of the Renewable Energy Expansion Law, like Stefan Thielen from the CDU, say that adding wind turbines in Saarland could cause a decline in creating wind energy infrastructure in other regions. However, Petra Berg from the SPD, the current Environmental Minister, responded by saying, "We don't have a moment to spare."

The approval by Saarland's Parliament to increase wind turbines aligns with the State Parliament's Renewable Energy Expansion Agenda. Despite concerns from critics like Stefan Thielen of the CDU, who fear a decline in wind energy infrastructure in other regions, Petra Berg from the SPD, the Environmental Minister, emphasizes the necessity with her statement, "We don't have a moment to spare." This development in Saarland, specifically with the amendment to the Forest Law, could potentially lead to more wind turbines in cities like Saarbrücken.
