15th Riigikogu, 5th session, press briefing
The speaker demonstrates in-depth knowledge of energy policy and infrastructure costs, utilizing specific figures (e.g., 5 billion, 1.3 billion, 350 million) and technical terminology (110-kilovolt line, megawatt, Elering data). This expertise centers on comparing the cost differentials for establishing onshore and offshore wind energy and grid connections, asserting that offshore wind is five times more expensive. The speaker also references existing special plans on state-owned lands (e.g., Lavassaare) as untapped resources.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The speaker demonstrates knowledge of constitutional law and national security topics, directly linking the issue of voting rights to the persistence of the state and the demographic situation ("a fading state"). Historical parallels are used (700 years of servitude) and reference is made to studies read in the press concerning the impact of applying for citizenship. Furthermore, a mathematical argument is employed regarding the possibility of forming an alternative coalition.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session.
The speaker demonstrates expertise in sports policy and funding, referencing the 2021 amendments to the Gambling Tax Act and its financial impact (a loss of 8 million euros). Specific statistical data is utilized regarding the physical fitness of conscripts (only 28% meet the minimum requirements) and the amounts of budget cuts (e.g., 0.5 million euros cut from coaches' support). Furthermore, the speaker is knowledgeable about the gaps in the elite sports support system, particularly in the transitional phase between the youth level and the absolute peak.
2025-02-19
15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary sitting
The speaker demonstrates expertise in national defense, maritime security, and critical infrastructure protection. Specific terminology, such as "vital infrastructure" and "mitigation measures," is employed, necessitating concrete resource and cost calculations. A separate emphasis is placed on the technical challenges associated with detecting enemy vessels behind offshore wind farms.
2025-02-19
15th Estonian Parliament, 5th sitting, information briefing
The speaker demonstrates strong expertise in the energy sector, presenting precise data on renewable energy generation, consumption, and the planned capacities of wind farms, all quantified in terawatt-hours. Particular emphasis is placed on the costs associated with establishing infrastructure and grid connections (1.3–2 billion euros), as well as the critical need for dispatchable power to guarantee security of supply. The speaker utilizes this technical data to dispute the government's targets, characterizing them as either unrealistic or prohibitively expensive.
2025-02-17
15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The speaker demonstrates expertise in education funding (fiscal year guarantees, local government supplementary obligations) and the economic aspects of energy policy. Specific figures and comparisons are used, such as the fivefold higher cost of an offshore wind farm compared to an onshore wind farm, and a subsidy expense totaling 2.6 billion euros. A clear and simple (even back-of-the-envelope) economic justification is required.
2025-02-13
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary meeting
The speaker demonstrates expertise in energy policy and infrastructure funding, emphasizing the need for detailed calculations and market-based solutions. Specific terms like "energy infrastructure," "nuclear power plant," and "subsidies" are used, alongside references to political timelines (Igor Taro).
2025-02-12
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The speaker demonstrates profound expertise in the field of energy policy and economics, utilizing detailed financial data (construction costs, subsidies) and technical statistical indicators (TWh, MW). They present comparative cost calculations covering offshore wind farms, onshore wind farms, and power lines. The data was sourced from the Ministry of Climate, which lends official weight to the information provided.
2025-02-11
15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The speaker demonstrates knowledge of the links between foreign policy, economic well-being, and the European Union's energy policy. Specific terminology is employed, such as "competition-killing energy policy," and this is connected to the European economy's ability to cope and its capacity to increase defense spending. The expertise focuses on the contradiction between economic sustainability and climate goals.
2025-02-10
15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session
The speaker demonstrates knowledge of banking taxation topics, using terms such as extraordinary income, additional payments, and advance income tax. Economic comparisons with Lithuania are also utilized to support the argument regarding the links between tax policy and economic growth.
