About :

A documentary film about the planned expansion of the Kaunertal power plant, hydropower in Tyrol and the question: Are we doing everything right in the energy transition? SIGN THE PETITION NOW: https://wet-tirol.at/petition-stopp-a... The last wild rivers in the Alps are in danger as their use for energy production continues to advance. In Tyrol in particular, hydropower is about to be completely expanded. There is hardly a stream or river in Tyrol that has not yet been used and affected by the energy industry. And the last intact rivers and alpine natural areas are also to be sacrificed for energy production - and all this in the midst of a noticeable biodiversity crisis and climate catastrophe. The filmmaker Harry Putz explores the natural high alpine Platzertal, which is to be dammed to form a reservoir according to the plans of the Tyrolean state energy supplier TIWAG. He interviews those affected, experts and environmentalists about the expansion project and the expected consequences. The planned expansion of the Kaunertal power plant is the largest hydropower project in Central Europe in recent decades. With several reservoirs, power houses, tunnels and dams, it is to extend across the entire Ötztal Alps. These interventions would also irreversibly change the Ötztaler Ache - the last large glacier river in Austria that has not yet been massively affected by energy use. Up to 80 percent of the Ötztal water is to be diverted from the valley. 'To the last drop' asks the questions: What is a future without wild rivers? Is the sacrifice of untouched natural areas for energy production still justifiable? And is the further expansion of hydropower even effective in the fight against the climate crisis? Harry Putz wants to sensitize viewers to the urgency of the situation and tells the story of a movement to protect the last wild rivers and alpine natural areas in Tyrol.
