Here is the politician who said yes to wind power in his own backyard in Tönsen

"Not in my backyard" is a term sometimes used about politicians who are positive about controversial buildings as long as they do not end up close to themselves.

But former center politician Irene Frank, now politically wild in Bollnäs municipality, was positive about the Valhalla wind farm already when the plans were presented over ten years ago.

At that time, the park was considered one of Europe's largest.

Chinese owner

Since 2020, a total of 85 wind turbines have been running, 27 are in Bollnäs municipality and the rest in Ockelbo.

The park is partly owned by the Chinese company CGN, which has been singled out as a security threat.

Two accidents with fallen rotor blades have occurred.

There are difficult questions about wind power but also simple, how can you live next to them?
