Vattenfall: The situation is getting more and more hopeless

Denmark's Southern Jutland region provided around 0.5 percent of the Danish wind development over the past three years. Tuesday, a 80 MW project was shot down by politicians. Vattenfall is disappointed in the lack of impartiality at the local level and the lack of national political support.
