It’s windy as hell in the Öresund so hopefully this farms keeps us powered up and encourages more developments
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
24/01/2023 – 14:47
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.
And all the while the Sweden Democrats (far-right) party is against this and wants us to pivot towards coal, oil and gas.
Probably going to be contested for years. Everybody in Sweden loves wind farms as long as they are not in view of them
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 🤔
A very stupid question – but if there are many wind farms in the near future, won’t they weaken the winds?
Cool, I wonder how much the defences against naval attacks will cost, or if they are even planned…
Wind turbines are dependsnt on outside source. Nuclear chugs this power 24/7

they mention one reactor, not a plant.
Also how much will it cost?
