Switzerland rejects factory village to protect couple of bearded vultures-

I would sacrifice a couple of bearded vultures-to reduce the electric bill? This was the dilemma of 138 inhabitants of paradise village of La Punt, Switzerland in Chamuesch, which were called by the local Government to make a decision is not always easy: biodiversity or the wallet.

According to the Dodo, the town urgently needs to renew its energy infrastructure, and a new power plant on the table. However, the site chosen for the new building hit a bump with the habitat of a couple of vultures-bearded, in a remote Valley.

Actually, these are not vultures-bearded normal. The inhabitants of La Punt Chamuesch believe they are the most prolific of all bearded vultures-the Swiss Alps, a romantic couple that could forever be without your love getaway.

The construction of the factory, according to some environmentalists, would put at risk the very lives of the couple of vultures, so the decision was decided through a referendum.

According to the Dodo, the inhabitants of La Punt Chamuesch were the votes and the decision has not been easy â€" however, the plant was rejected by 64 votes against 74. In La Punt Chamuesch will continue to pay a high price for electricity consumed, but the couple of bearded vultures-at the top of thank your innocence, the jury's decision.
