How the Electricity Feed-In Law (Stromeinspeisungsgesetz) Came to Be Passed by the German Parliament, Enabling Renewable Energies to Establish Their Position in the Market - Wind Power for the World: The Rise of Modern Wind Energy - page 487

Experimental Nuclear Physics at the Nuclear Research Centre of the
Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe. I can still picture quite clearly
the terrible responsibility—and the helplessness—of those who,
having designed the atomic bomb as an instrument with which
to contain National Socialism, were later forced to witness the
devastation and sufering caused by their well-meant invention
after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This example
illustrates what the chemical industry and energy sector—with
their close ties to the state—are capable of if they are not kept
under control.
The energy supply industry is ruthlessly transforming the
concept of renewable energy sources, as a strategy to preserve the
provision of our essential public services, into the exact opposite—
the business of death and destruction. The word “sustainable”
serves only as a wrapping to conceal the true nature of the
products they put on the market and the destruction of our natural
surroundings caused by their unethical business practices. Their
ultimate aim is to make the public subservient to the oligopolies.
In the federal state of Brandenburg—an hour's drive from
Berlin—whole areas, which were once green pastures and thriving
landscapes, are turning into desert. Lusatia was formerly a lignite-
mining region and so-called government “revitalisers” are now
describing how savannah areas are beginning to appear there.
And this in Lusatia, of all places, whose name derives from the
Sorbian word meaning “swamps” or “water-hole”. Only a

century ago, this was one of the most water-rich and fertile areas
of Central Europe! This progressive destruction is ultimately
the work of eight decades of German policy in the energy and
chemical sectors. Seen in moral and cultural terms, this is quite
clearly wrongdoing of immeasurable proportions, protected by
the dominant sciences jurisprudence and economics, now bereft
of any real content. This destruction is an expression of what
happens when the ruling doctrine of the day is constantly repeated
in parrot-fashion. It was people with no awareness of the past
who strengthened the old power and economical structures in the
course of the last 65 years. Instead of analysing and reappraising
these structures, they transfigured and camouflaged them. With
their legal expertise, they defended the Kaiser's Mining Act of
1871 and Hitler's central constitutional institution “Inspector
