Denmark is reconsidering its 40-year ban on nuclear power in a major policy shift for the renewables-heavy country.
The Danish government will analyse the potential benefits of a new generation of nuclear power technologies after banning traditional nuclear reactors in 1985, its energy minister said.
The Scandinavian country is one of Europe’s most renewables-rich energy markets and home to Ørsted, the world’s biggest offshore wind company. More than 80% of its electricity is generated from renewables, including wind, biofuels and solar, according to the International Energy Agency.
Didn’t all the mink farms close?
They closed down all, about 1400 small farms, in 2020.
The ban was removed in 2023. 6 larger farms have reopened since then, comparable to 15 of the previous farms.
It was a total shit show, but at least the clean up forced all the skeletons out of the closet.

denmark is on a decline. visit any town but CPH and you see a dying country. small towns are super backwards, integration kinda failed (dont mention iranians), drinking prime minister…and mink farms.
denmark was cool like 40yrs back or so
Interesting perspective. When you say any town, do you include places like Aarhus and Odense? If yes, what are the symptoms of the country dying there?
What small towns are you talking about specifically? There are definitely struggling places out there, in curious if we’re thinking of the same places.
Also what’s the issue with the prime minister drinking?
What was cool about Denmark 40 years ago?
well if i go to the north sea any city is in decline. blavand,rodekro all those…and then go up to hjorring…i stayed there a week some years back…aaaauuuugh…the horrors.
went to the mall in aarhus…made me laugh and cry…they still to this day have a “how i met your mother” cafe in the mall…since 20 years…and it looks like it. but it is not only the ugly malls outside of cph it is that the cities have just become useless. i hang out in hvarde often and nothing absolutely nothing has improved there in the last 2 decades. necropole? is that what you call communities of old ppl? while decades ago denmark could have been considered progessive I am sure you wont find anyone outside of denmark say that.
have they stopped farming wild animals? no. has their policy on drungs evolved? nope.
maybe it is their brainrot, but thoses fences for the swineflu…absurd. just go say you hate brown people.
so 40yrs ago DK was cool because they were at least progressive,quite rich and laid back.
