The not-in-my-backyard-syndrome
In 2022, the energy sector and Denmark’s leading energy provider, Andel, faced a shocking reality. In the past two years, 82% of all projected wind farms had been stopped due to local protests from a small but loud minority, who didn’t want to see the green transition happen in their own backyard (not-in-my-backyard-syndrome). There were simply no places to put up new windturbines.
