Two companies have been granted permission to build a wind farm along the Swedish west coast. The announcement was criticized by the Sweden Democrats, who believe that they should have asked the party for permission before a decision was made.
SVT's domestic policy commentator Elisabeth Marmorstein says the decision may neutralize some of the opposition's criticism that the government is investing too one-eyed in nuclear power. The Sweden Democrats are the Riksdag's most wind power-sceptic party, and they have no intention of abandoning that position.
