Sweden says no to 13 offshore wind farms

November 4, 2024 International, International News

The sea-based wind power makes it more difficult to defend Sweden, says the Swedish Armed Forces. Now the government is stopping 13 planned parks in large parts of the Baltic Sea. On Monday, the government decided on 14 wind farms. Only one gets the go-ahead, while 13 planned parks will not get permission to build. The parks in the Baltic Sea, which were supposed to be located outside Åland in the north along the entire east coast down to the Sound, are now rejected. The government believes that it would lead to unacceptable consequences for Sweden’s defense to build the current projects in the Baltic Sea area, says Defense Minister Pål Jonson (M) at a press meeting with Climate and Environment Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (L) and Energy and Industry Minister Ebba Busch (KD). more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 13:54

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
