People don’t like windmills because they are ugly – so this is the only alternative.
It’s called realism. People don’t want winds turbines in their areas, offshore wind is extremely expensive and uneconomical, and well, it’s either hydro or nuclear. Both should happen hopefully and this is the hydro part
Eh, good for us. Though the basic problem that the government is deciding what sort of power it’s legal to build, remains; as long as that’s true we’re going to lurch back and forth between investing too much and too little.
This article does not at all mention the size of the turbines. There are plenty of small and micro hydro plants that divert about 1/10 if even that into a tube for a a couple hundred meters. Although it isn’t great, it is not building the three gorges dam 400 times.
There’s a very active anti-wind turbine lobby in Norway, partly fuelled by climate denialism and partly by EU opposition, and now it’s almost impossible to develop wind power.
Hydropower can be developed much more carefully than what was done 40 years ago. This is good.
We should also invest in upgrading capacity in older plants
Norway is in a development frenzy right now, and it’s going to get even more pronounced when FrP takes over this year.
Also what is this shit about “indigenous lands?”. White Norwegians are the indigenous population, and were here before the Sami. We have to come from SOMEWHERE
Not gonna happen.
Yes, because fuck fish, what do we need them for, specially fuck Atlantic salmon /s

>*How is this possible in Norway?*
We need more electricity and better protection against flooding in the coming years.
