There is a growing need for green electricity, but solar parks are creating debate. Associate Professor of Sustainable Energy Planning Kristian Borch from Aalborg University points out that large, concentrated plants often meet the greatest resistance, and that the solution may be smaller, more landscape-integrated projects. This is reported by DR

- An alternative is to make the projects smaller and integrate them more gently into the landscape. So instead of having them very concentrated in one place, you could spread them out a bit around the landscape, so that they were a third, a quarter, a tenth as large, he says. 

Local resistance has had political consequences in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality, where Pernille Nielsen and two others have founded the new party Borgerlisten in response to the massive supply of solar panels.

- We started because of this energy boom that some people believe we should have in Ringkøbing-Skjern, she tells DR
