					<description><![CDATA[The Bessaker wind power station in the Fosen region in the southernmost parts of reindeer husbandry in Norway has just opened and was visited by reindeer herders from Norway and Sweden (in Jamtland and Trondelag) who fear the impact that it will have (there are plans for large expansion) on reindeer and loss of pastures. There is also wind power development on the Swedish side of the border and reindeer herders are feeling squeezed according to reindeer herder Arvid Jaama .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Like etter åpningen møttes norske og svenske reindriftsutøvere til befaring på Fosenhalvøya. De frykter at det vil skje ytterligere vindkraftutbygging i dette området, noe som de mener vil føre til slutten for reindrifta. 
Hardt presset
Også på svensk side i Jämland har det blitt bygget ut flere vindkraftanlegg de siste årene og flere er under planlegging.

					<description><![CDATA[The wind power industry has spent at least NOK 100 million on projects that are unrealistic at the outset, according to the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE).  
The main reason is that the exsisting national grid does not have the capacity to carry the added power from more than a third of the wind powered generators that the industry itself wants to build.
The industry has at present applied for licenses to operate up to 6,000 windmills, while .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Government is far from reaching its goal of developing wind power plants producing 3 TerraWatts by 2010. The political opposition is critical.
So far, wind power facilities with a total capacity of only a little more than 1.1 TW have been developed, and further developments are far from being realized, the newspaper Klassekampen writes.
Poor financial support from the state and a lengthy processing of the application for the lisence is blamed for the slow development of wind power in Norway.

She said that Norway&#8217;s Energy Council, comprising business leaders and government officials, would issue a report later on Monday outlining ways to build wind parks off the coast in a shift to greener energy for the world&#8217;s NO. 5 oil exporter.

Olav Mathias-Eira is a reindeer-herder. So was his father. And his father&#8217;s father. He is a member of the Sami community, one of the largest indigenous groups remaining in Europe, and his family have been herding reindeer in the same stretch of the Norwegian Arctic since the 1400s.

Transferring electric cables underground would prevent the deaths, although warning devices on power lines have been somewhat useful. According to bird watchers, birds fly into the same lines every year.
Other large structures, like glass buildings, also create obstacles for birds. Furthermore, wind turbines are .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

It is not climate changes, nor the high number of reindeers or the increasing motorized traffic which pose the biggest threat against the Norwegian reindeer herders. It is rather the big number of cabins built in the pasture areas, as well .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

“The uncertainty has been and is bigger for wind and gas power,” a report by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate confirmed this week.
Just four cases a year are processed by three key staff, and the torrent of applications for windpower and gas are, of necessity, also being slotted behind requests for hydropower .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

The energy industry and the environmental organisations say this is contrary to the Government&#8217;s efforts aimed at finding alternative forms of energy.
So far, licenses have been granted for wind power project with a total production capacity of 1.5 terrawatt hours.
These would have covered the electricity needs of nearly 80,000 homes.

					<description><![CDATA[Recent correspondence on wind turbines and birds is brought up to date by an email from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Reserve concerning white-tailed eagles (WTE) on the island of Smola: &#8220;In September a new adult WTE was found beneath a turbine at Smola, in a search for corpses. There are now 10 dead WTE found at Smola since August 2005&#8221; (dated October 2). All soaring raptor and many large slow-flying bird are at serious risk, having no natural defence .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Norwegian government is to subsidize energy produced from
renewable sources from 2008, the energy ministry said Thursday.
     Under the new system, producers of wind power will receive NOK80/MWh
(&#36;12.08/MWh), while producers of power from biomass will receive
NOK100/MWh. In addition, hydro power producers will receive NOK40/MWh for the
production representing the first 3 MW of the capacity in the plants.
     The ministry said the subsidies will be paid over a period of 15 years.
All power .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Not much time to post of late but, as a keen birdwatcher (not much time for that either at present), I was saddened to read of the plight of the White-tailed Eagle population on the Smoela archipelago in Norway, which has been decimated by an ill-advised windfarm. This year, only one eagle is expected to fledge from the windfarm site on the bird&#8217;s former stronghold of Smoela, a set of islands about 10 km off the coast of northwest Norway. .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
