Public opinion
editWithin the federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern the plans have met much opposition. A movement against the plan "Bürgerinitiativen Kein Steinkohlekraftwerk in Lubmin" (In English: "Citizen Initiative No Coal Powerplant in Lubmin") has risen.[2] Due to opposition, DONG Energy suspended the project in 2009.[3]
