The then socialist government with the support of the Green Party shut down 6 of Sweden's 12 nuclear power plants during the previous term. At the time, representatives from the then government took credit and proudly said that they taxed nuclear power to make it unprofitable. Something they do not admit today.
Personally, I believe that a mixture of hydropower, wind power and nuclear power is needed. I am aware of the negative effects the various energy sources have on the environment.
However, the Green Party only talks about the problem with the nuclear waste and the risk of a serious accident that could lead to the release of radioactive substances. They completely ignore the fact that there are risks and problems with wind power.
The wind turbine blades are constructed from a composite material, glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP), which consists of an insoluble 3D network of glass fiber and plastic which is complicated to recycle. That the glass fiber breaks and spreads over large areas of land and ends up in the animals in different ways. Among other things via their food.
That the lightning conductors are sometimes installed incorrectly and in lieu grounding the wind turbine instead makes them a magnet for the lightning.
Personally, I wonder if the wind farms can affect thunderstorms. In a thundercloud, negative charges accumulate in the lower part and positive in the upper part. When these giants stand on a huge area and act like a colossal electric whisk, it should affect the negative and positive charges in a thundercloud.
