How are wind farms "destroying Sami land"? Please fill me in.
Full disclosure, I work in the industry so I would LOVE to know how a wind turbine tower which at it's base is typically no more than 5 m in diameter (15') is destroying anything when wind farms are commonly installed on farm land with essentially no disruption to the field and it's use to grow food.

This is just a guess, but could the vibrations / low frequency sound be bad for / drive away animals they hunt? I know my community has rebuffed attempts at an offshore one for those reasons and the effect on our fisheries. (I understand sound propagation through water is quite a different beast, but thats my conjecture)

Just pointing out that reindeer aren't really hunted, they're more like free roaming cattle. They're all owned by someone.

I don’t mean to be a dick, but if everybody’s gonna make changes could these Sami folks eat something else?
