Government wants to change municipal wind farm veto
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has made energy-independence an urgency, explained environment and climate minister Annika Strandhäll.
"Swedish people should not have to depend on countries like Russia in order to drive ones car or heat ones home", she explained.
The government wants Sweden to invest in wind power, announcing a plan that includes giving incentives to municipalites that accept wind farms being built, and changing local councils' veto on turbine construction.
