onthedarkside Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Environmental activist Greta Thunberg has been detained twice during a demonstration in favour of Indigenous rights in Norway. On Monday, Ms Thunberg joined protesters demanding the removal of 151 wind turbines from reindeer pastures used by Sami herders in central Norway. She said a transition to green energy should not come at the expense of Indigenous rights. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-02/greta-thunberg-detained-by-norway-police-during-pro-sami-protest/102042274 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthedarkside Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Norway apologises to reindeer herders over wind farm after Oslo protests Norway's government has apologised to reindeer herders following protests over a wind farm built on land they have used for centuries. Activists, mostly teenagers, started demonstrating a week ago and have blocked several government buildings in the capital Oslo. They say the presence of the 151 turbines violates the rights of the Sami people and is operating in contravention of a 2021 Supreme Court court ruling. https://news.sky.com/story/norway-apologises-to-reindeer-herders-over-wind-farm-after-oslo-protests-12824132 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take your word for it but the Norwegian Supreme Court ruled it was illegal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The indigenous people can move and still retain their culture. The turbines can be moved and still produce electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deflect away all you wish, but the fact remains this issue is not about the use of carbon neutral energy sources, as you claimed. Oh, and trying to make this personal by making erroneous claims about myself is quite possibly trolling behaviour.
