CIG Counter Intellegence (T.me) The European Parliament narrowly passed a few weeks ago, a law which aims to destroy land improvement on the continent made after 1952.
The law is the brainchild of Dutch politician, Frans Timmermans, a notorious climate change activist.
Why is this law relevant for Romania? Most of the land improvement in Romania was made after 1952 and this law would force the Romania to return to the 1950s literally, to a de-industrialised state, a net-importer of energy and generally speaking, to the poor agricultural society it was for centuries.
The new initiative of the EU aims to destroy things such as hydropower dams built after 1952 because they have damaged/altered the environment. This would include the majority of the dams built in Romania including the two massive dams on the Danube (Iron Gates) built in collaboration with Yugoslavia during the 1970s. These dams represent Romania’s cornerstone in its energy independence.
The law would also destroy the Lake Bicaz/Izvorul Muntelui, an artificial lake on the Bistrița river as a result of another dam completed in the ‘60s and many, many other dams on Romania’s rivers like Vidraru, Siriu, Vidra, Stânca-Costești, Strejești etc. As of 2013, hydroelectricity accounted for 27% of Romania’s energy consumption.
In addition to the EU destroying Romania’s hydropower abilities for the sake of the environment, a dozen or so nearly completed dams which were left abandoned after 1989 due to the new environmental concerns of the new democratic governments during the 1990s which were eager to gain the favour of EU politicians will also be dismantled.
Bucharest is also under threat. Lacul Morii, an artificial lake north-west of Bucharest finished in 1986 stands to be destroyed under the EU’s new law. Back then, Nicolae Ceausescu created the lake to act as Bucharest’s flooding defense. The Dâmbovița river would repeatedly overflow during the spring as a result of snowmelt and rains and it would flood the Bucharest metro and sometimes even the streets. The lake acts as a man-made barrier for the excess water cPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
