Separately, the significant contribution of the oil shale industry (70%) to Estonia's overall waste generation was discussed.

The speaker demonstrates expertise in the field of radiation protection and medical physics, highlighting the specificity of the subject matter and the limited number of experts available. He/She possesses in-depth knowledge of the legislative process, accurately detailing the dates of the committee discussions and the participating interest groups, such as the dentists' association and the radiology association.

Utilizes technical data (e.g., wind turbine capacities in megawatts and heights in meters) and references the positions of experts (the Ministry of Climate) and the Chancellor of Justice. Consistently clarifies the distinction between the bases used for determining environmental impact and those used for determining local benefit.
