Sweden: Government partner right wing party SD wants to stop all expansion of wind power and preferably dismantle all

The Sweden Democrats are against all wind power, want to stop the development of new, and preferably scrap the existing one. That's what Oscar Sjöstedt, economic policy spokesperson, says in an interview with Svenska Dagbladet. Martin Kinnunen, responsible for the party's environmental policy softens the statement somewhat. - We do not want government funding for wind power, he says. Despite the fact that the government is in favor of the expansion of wind power and that Energy Minister Ebba Busch (KD) has said that "new wind power is needed everywhere", the government partner Sweden Democrats are completely against wind power. - I want to go in the complete opposite direction. I don't want wind power at all, says Oscar Sjöstedt economic policy spokesperson for SD in an interview in Svenska Dagbladet. According to Sjöstedt, "he probably speaks for the whole party". Sjöstedt believes that wind power is environmentally harmful and "sabotages" animals and people. - People get psychological problems because their night's sleep is ruined by the sound. It sabotages nature. It is expensive, inefficient, unplanned and it depends on the weather, he tells SvD. He will also "fight" against the expansion of wind power and believes that it would be best to "pick away the wind turbines that already exist", but that it is "economically wisest that they be allowed to live out their useful life." https://www.dn.se/sverige/sd-vill-stoppa-all-utbyggnad-av-vindkraft/

            Surely?How would a government make such an obnoxious decision. It should not see the light of day at all costs.
