Many greetings

Dear Mr. Governor,

I just returned from your beautiful island Bali to Germany. During my stay in Lovina I learned, that there are existing plans to install a power plant in the north of Bali respective in the Lovina area. With all respect to produce more electricity for the convenience of all Balinese people and development of the infrastructure of the island, this tourism area is not the right place for such a plan, as this now 30 years old power plant using crude oil will destroy the beauty of this landscape and on a longer term it also will destroy the sea area and the coral reef in front. Nobody can deny, that once oil will drop into the sea and will spoil the unique underwater world.

As you are in a very early planning stadium, we kindly ask you, to proof your plan again and look for an alternative spot for a power plant like this. Nobody can guarantee, that such an old power plant will cause any technical problems, which will affect the tourism industry in this lovely area. Perhaps there is also the possibility to use solar energy, as you have 365 days of sun per year, and to co-operate with any company selling such solar projects?

In times, when the economy is strongly affected due to the Kuta tragedy and its consequences, such an installation will cause more problems for the future recovering of the Balinese economy. As I learned, nearly 80% of all Balinese people receive most of their income through the tourism industry, this step will spoil more than it will be helpful. As I just received the message, that Garuda Indonesia will cancel the flights to Bali by November 15th from Frankfurt and by January 22nd from Amsterdam and London, everybody should do everything to improve the tourism business to Bali for a better future of this unique and most beautiful island. We are a German tour operator and send people to Bali since many years and will do so in the future, so it is also in our interest, to stabilise the business as well.

By this opportunity we do not want to miss to condolence You and all the people of Bali to what happens in Kuta. We feel with you and the people who lost their beloved ones. May such terrible things never happen again.

Meanwhile I remain with

kind regards
