21 Speeches

The speaker sharply criticizes the initiators (the opposing side) of the draft bill aimed at expanding the wind energy impact zone, citing their ideological opposition and insincerity, and alleging that they do not actually want cheap electricity. He also takes aim at "traveling protesters" who are obstructing local proceedings. The criticism targets both their political ideology and the substantive incompetence of the bill itself (for instance, a fundamental misunderstanding of the definition of the impact zone).

The criticism is directed against the spreading of false claims (such as those regarding the Paris Climate Agreement and local benefits) and against the Isamaa party, which opposed the oil shale reserve bill. In the speaker's assessment, this opposition would jeopardize energy supply security. He advises Isamaa to rethink its stance and condemns the use of inappropriate historical parallels (references to the 1940s).
