SCANDAL in the Rems-Murr district: electricity pylons now wear black cuffs!
Shocking news from the Rems-Murr district! Hundreds of utility poles are now covered in dark, shiny sleeves, which not only pose an aesthetic problem but also hide alarming protective measures! These strange “bandages” are said to be made from wood preservative and are said to be urgently needed to protect the masts from catastrophic decomposition caused by fungi, insects and gradual decay. Is the power supply here in acute danger? Krzbb.de reports that such wooden masts are a real thing, especially in damp areas Represent battlefield against nature.
This dramatic step is no coincidence. Since this week, specialist teams have been busy checking the stability of the masts between Allmersbach im Tal and Winnenden - but is that really enough? The residents surveyed must show understanding for the martial approach, as the interventions could last until spring 2026!
A passionate fight for agriculture
But that's not all! The fashion for underground cables is advancing inexorably, which is causing agriculture in the region to tremble. Farmers are protesting against the devastating effects of underground power lines. According to a shocking report from Landundforst.de they are threatened with massive losses in yield, which can amount to up to 15%!
A huge project by TenneT is shifting the power supply – but at whose expense? While farmers fight for their land and yields, 380 kV lines are being laid, which is affecting agricultural areas. A single cable project could upend the agricultural balance and lead to unpredictable consequences!
The bitter debate: overhead lines versus underground cables
We are at a crucial turning point in by far the most contentious debate in recent years! Should Germany secure its electricity supply via visible overhead lines or many more expensive underground cables? [Techzeitgeist.de](https://www.techzeitgeist.de/freileitung-vs-erdkabel-was-kostet-die-energiewende-im-uebertragungsnetz- aktuell/) sheds light on the heated disputes between network providers, citizens' initiatives and politics.
The cost differences are breathtaking: underground cables cost up to 10 million euros per kilometer, while overhead lines are a bargain at just 3 million euros per kilometer! Despite this astronomical price difference, the traffic light government supports the controversial underground cables because they hope for greater acceptance by the population - but is that really in the interests of taxpayers?
Public opinion is divided: According to surveys, around 68% of people prefer the more expensive underground cables, while critics warn of the massive financial consequences. If the wrong decisions are made, the bill for the energy transition could add up to over 600 billion euros by 2045! Society is faced with a fateful decision - which direction will be chosen?
The next steps in this dramatic drama are crucial. Are the concerns of farmers and citizens taken seriously? Can citizens really influence the decisions of network operators? The clock is ticking and the tension is rising - we will insist on developments!
