The resistance is great. And those who work to set up the windmills will feel it. – I think it is demanding to stand in, in many settings. At the same time, I think we are doing an important social mission. That’s according to Sven Lersveen, who is a project developer at Eidsiva. He is at Søre Osen in Åmot municipality in Innlandet. In the wind farm, 31 wind turbines tower in nature in Åmot and Trysil. The park that was completed in 2018.

But we have to stand by that. I think it is worse for landowners and politicians, says the project developer in Eidsiva. He himself has experienced being physically confronted. During a public meeting against wind power, he was called up on stage. He says that sometimes it has been unpleasant to go to work. – It was a project where someone was so frustrated that he came and pulled me by the arm. There is nothing all right, says Lersveen. Ole Erik Hørstad, who is mayor of Åmot municipality, says it was a good and orderly process when they built out the park there. The mayor of Åmot, Ole Erik Hørstad, cannot answer why people think it is so painful when you build wind turbines.

He himself has not been provoked because they built out into nature, but he says he understands where the opposition comes from. – It is demanding, and I understand that, because it is a major intervention in nature. Therefore, we municipalities must weigh the pros and cons. In some places we should not have windmills, says Hørstad. – People are scared The organization Motvind Noreg works against wind turbine development. Wind power takes away the quality of life of those who live in the municipalities, according to Johnny Snerten, who is the head of Motvind Innlandet. He wants a better alternative to produce power.

When they get this in the face, I think the whole register of emotions comes at once, and then people do things and say things in affect. But he does not support the kind of incitement that has been seen in social media. – It will be meaningless. That is not the point here. Everything boils down to an area plan in the municipality. Then it’s about finding an argument and explaining things to our politicians, says Snerten. The organization Motvind believes that wind power is a robbery. Johnny Snerten says it is about encroachment on nature and that people in the immediate area are affected by the mills. Photo: Reidar Gregersen / news Published 09.12.2024, at 12.19
