Sweden’s Newly Approved Offshore Wind Farms Equivalent to One Large Nuclear Power Reactor

  1. So they will bring the wind from an impoverished region, wind mined by poor people.

    And, once the wind has blown through the fan, it’ll be have to be dug under the ground because it will remain highly polluting for millennia?

    Edit:
    French uranium mine leaves 20 million tonnes of radioactive waste in Niger

    Niger is the world’s fifth-largest uranium producer.

    In 2021, it provided the European Union with nearly 25 percent of its uranium supplies, which helped produce electricity for millions of households.

    The French nuclear company – formerly, Areva and now Orano – started mining the country’s uranium reserves in the 1970s. Forty-seven years later, in March 2021, the Cominak mines near the northern town of Arlit closed down.

    *The closure left the local population to live with 20 million tonnes of radioactive mud on the mine’s site*, according to the French-based Independent Research and Information Commission on Radioactivity (CRIIRAD).

    Its findings, following an investigation of the area in 2009, showed that the level of radioactivity was 450,000 Becquerels per kilo – well above the internationally recommended levels of radiation.

  2. Probably going to be contested for years. Everybody in Sweden loves wind farms as long as they are not in view of them

  3. Is the plan for Anholt to be entirely surrounded by windmills one day? Denmark already has a park to its west and plans to the south, and now Sweden is stepping in on its east and north-east 🤔
