Save the Oetz Ep. 8
In Tyrol, Austria the state-owned hydropower company TIWAG is planning to "expand" the Kaunertal hydropower plant by building three new hydro schemes. This threatens the world-famous Oetz River as well as the water supply to the farmers in the Oetz Valley.
Through the voices of environmental experts, conservationists and local residents who will be impacted by this hydro project, this eight-part series from WET helps explain why the Kaunertal Expansion Project should be stopped.
In the final episode, Anne Hoffman, founder of a citizen's initiative against the Hyrdo-electric project questions the price of the decade-long construction. A construction site of this size would have massive interferences with nature and major implications for the most valuable assets for our future.
You can't put a price on that. Learn more and sign the petition: http://stubaiwasser.at/stop-kaunertal...
