I still remember when certain politicians in PT said that some of us (who strongly disagreed with them) are "too rural", etc. OK. I was on holiday back home, went outside, listened to this cover track, and it made me feel better: https://youtu.be/XBM419uuN_U?is=yuF0xfg1fjzBOWsk

From Paul Rees on Facebook: The government released this week the map of the Renewable Energy Acceleration Zones (ZAER). This document is a passport to the ill-designated green energy industry, occupying 7% of the national territory. This project is particularly injurious to the district of Castelo Branco where an area of approximately 100 thousand hectares is planned to be occupied. Three councils of the Pinhal zone (Sertã, Proença-Nova and Oleiros) are the most affected since the plan provides for the occupation of their territories by more than 35%. The impact of all this is terrifying, visually we are going to have a painted landscape of black and environmentally it is a catastrophe since the destruction of around 100 thousand hectares of vegetation (only in the Casetlo Branco district) implies the death of a huge number of birds and animals wilds contributing in this way to accelerate climate change. According to experts, the destruction of such a natural area will cause an increase in temperature, the rapid runoff of rainwater causing increased floods and not allowing underground aquifers to supply, decrease in oxygen percentage and consequently air quality, sterilisation of water soles for long years and a huge accumulation of scrap caused by the end of the life of the equipment used. Coming to fruition, this is one of the darkest plans Portugal has ever had, and before this the questions arise: is it necessary? Portugal really needs this? The answer is: No. According to it was released in September last year by Goldenergy citing data from Eurostat, Portugal already produces by the renewable system more than 86% of the energy it consumes, however, energy consumption in Portugal and the developed world is increasing alarmingly because of Data centers, Artificial Intelligence, etc. and our country is being targeted by the great multinationals of the energy sector to be sacrificed for the gross profits this industry will generate.
