Norway: Activists Protest Against Wind Farm

Activists have held protests at Norway's parliament in Oslo against a wind farm that they say endangers reindeer herders. They are protesting against the 151-turbine wind farm, which is Europe's largest onshore wind farm, in Norway’s Fosen district. They say the transition to green energy should not come at the cost of the rights of the Indigenous Sami people's rights whose reindeer herding could be compromised from the farm.
