lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, environmental protection is a prestigious field of politics, and rightly so. However, it is precisely the subject of renewable energy sources that must be freed from the burden of ideology and wishful thinking, as well as from the material misuse of energy sources themselves. The present report on the subject of renewable energy sources does precisely the opposite, and that is why I have rejected it. What, for example, is to be made of the much-touted benefits of wind power, something I consider to be an economic and ecological mistake? No appreciable percentage of an ultramodern industrial state’s energy needs can be met from wind power. We are still talking about mere thousandths of the overall requirement. Last year in Germany, two billion kilowatt hours were generated through wind power. That is just 0.8% of the total requirement of 2,500 billion kilowatts, and even that has cost the taxpayer DM 3 billion in grants. Clearly, then, the future does not lie down this particular road, and we should therefore turn back from this economic and ecological blind alley and find ourselves a new direction."@en1
