Serbia Moves to Ban Hydro Plants in National Parks After Outrage

摘要

Serbia has vowed to end the building of small hydro plants in its national parks and other protected areasafter protests by environmentalists and farmers.Generous feed-in tariffs for renewables that the Balkan country offered to developers in order to catch upwith developed economies led to a rush to build small hydro plants.
