Agenda Profile: Anti Poolamets

The political position centers on the priority of national defense, contrasting this stance with the development of wind energy, which poses a threat to signal intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities and overall security. The speaker urgently demands that the government conduct comprehensive studies regarding noise and electromagnetic interference, specifically questioning the value of intermittent power generation and subsidies when national security is at stake. This position is strongly rooted in both values and results, underscoring the necessity of pressuring the government to accelerate crucial national defense development efforts.

The speaker demonstrates a deep awareness of the technical problems in signal intelligence, the electromagnetic chaos generated by wind turbines, and the shortcomings in acoustic measurement methodology. He uses specific terminology (false signals, cumulative wind turbine noise, radio noise criteria) and quotes critical experts, such as the acoustician Toomas Toimeta and Colonel Kiviselg. He emphasizes that wind turbines constitute a specific noise source, for the measurement of which Estonia lacks sufficient highly professional expertise.

The rhetorical style is extremely forceful, alarming, and combative, utilizing strong emotional imagery, such as "a bag over the head of our radio intelligence" and "immeasurable chaos." The speaker balances these alarming assertions with concrete examples (Sopi-Tootsi park, the issue of rustling leaves) and by citing authoritative sources (ERR, Colonel Kiviselg). He frames the situation in black and white, asking which is more important: opportunistic electricity or national defense.

The speaker is actively participating in the Riigikogu interpellation, focusing on a deep examination of the topic and demanding concrete action plans from the minister. He/She references previous media coverage (ERR's handling of the issue in December) and repeated posts by citizens, demonstrating continuous monitoring of the subject and the integration of public criticism.

The confrontation is directed at the government and the minister, who are accused of undermining the surveillance and intelligence capabilities of national defense and offering insufficient mitigation measures. The criticism is intense and policy-based, emphasizing that opportunistic power generation and subsidies have been prioritized over security. The speaker also points to the incompetence or flawed methodologies of the companies that conducted the measurements (e.g., Kajaja Acoustics).

The political sphere lacks a clear model for cooperation, but the speaker strongly relies on external criticism and experts (acousticians, representatives of the Defence Forces). He/She stresses the necessity of commissioning highly professional studies from abroad, as Estonia may not possess the necessary competence for research of this magnitude.

The focus is primarily on national security and the operational capabilities of the Estonian Defense Forces across the country, given that wind turbines generate electromagnetic chaos nationwide. Specific local examples are used to illustrate these issues, such as the Sopi-Tootsi wind farm and the Saarde region, where residents are suffering from noise pollution. The international context is also brought up, referencing Sweden's decisive restrictions on the construction of wind parks.

Economic viewpoints are critical of wind energy subsidies (dotations) and intermittent electricity, arguing that they are insignificant compared to national defense needs. The speaker also points to the necessity of conducting costly and long-term studies, which would require the procurement of foreign experts.

Among the social issues addressed are the noise generated by wind farms and its negative impact on the quality of life of local residents, even those living 10+ km away. Separately, emphasis is placed on the need to take into account the criticism of citizens who have themselves conducted substantive measurements and analyses.

The legislative focus is currently directed at developing uniform and specific radio noise criteria, which are currently lacking. The speaker insists that a dedicated research methodology must be developed separately for each wind farm, and that highly professional, months-long noise studies must be carried out.
