Wind is viable in the parts of Finland that matter.

Pohjanlahti? Finland has quite low average windspeed and not much geographical features that would make good spots for turbines.
Also if you search about finnish wind power on google, you might find article about some finnish company bragging about their novel ocean turbine tech, which is code for "nobody else builds these things on frozen sea". So we can't even buy proven tech from others.

And even if the problems with the actual turbines and solar panels could be solved trivially, the problem of their nonconsistant power generation remains. Because of how terrible our energy storage methods are, turbines spinning when there's no demand are almost worthless.

Burning coal is loving awful and currently best hope for nuclear power is giving Putin control of our power network but they actually produce the power we require, something that wind and solar currently cannot do.

Solar and wind by themselves are not worth much, but when they are used together with hydro you can get clean energy continually.

Our hydro is completely tapped out except some theoretical wave power in Itämeri and that's even less realistic than wind and solar.
And you still have the problem of power generation not matching power demand times.

When I mentioned hydro, I was talking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity

Imo it would be a manageable long term goal for Finland to replace fossil fuels in electricity generation with renewables.

Where do you want to build the pumped storage? Norway?
The mean electric power usage in Finland apparently varies between 5 GW (summer) and 14 GW (winter).
The current peak hydro generating capacity in Finland is around 3 GW. You'd have to quintuple it.

I didn't say that Finland should give up nuclear, just that Finland shoul replace fossil fuels in electricity generation with renewables.

Hell, same. I don't for one second question the fact that they're really pissed and would like to take it out on some lefties and wrong-colored folks, but after their discussion was publicized I suspect those plans are about to change. Probably going into full political purge mode to find out who the rat leaking things to Yle is.

The funniest bit about this saga is the Finns' peanut gallery leaping to their defense saying "We can't limit their rights to freedom of movement before they have actually committed some crimes" when the very same people have said that we should limit asylum seekers' freedom of movement because they're likely to cause crimes.

I had a pretty negative view of the Odins to begin with but they have managed to reach amazing depths, like, in effectiveness, as an organization. Can't keep their private conversations private, can't stop having their "leader" assault people while drunk, etc. What a bunch of losers.

Perussuomalaiset eivät ole pettäneet vaalilupauksiaan, Soini sanoo. Hänen mukaansa puolue ei kuitenkaan ole saanut kaikkia vaalilupauksiaan toteutettua.

This is only the fault of voters, in two ways. #1 because they have actually elected anyone who has promised anything, putting those politicians against an insurmountable task because #2 they don't bother to elect enough members of the same party, forcing them to make strange bed fellows to gain majority. The only solution to this is to declare yourself a dictator, Hitler broke no promises.

Miksi vitussa puolet YLEn selostajista ja studioisännistä on jotain puhevikaisia kimittäjiä? Jos on telkkarissa tai radiossa säännöllisesti, pitäisi pystyä puhumaan miellyttävällä äänellä. Tää on ku Life of Brianin vanginvapautuskohtauksesta kun väkijoukko huutelee nimiä.

Ymmärrän et Kaj Kunnas on lomalla huonon tuurin myötä, mutta onko nää oikeasti parhaat korvaajat mitä löyty? Miksei ikinä ole naisselostajia? Kyllä siitäkin sukupuolesta löytyy paaaljon urheiluhulluja, ja niistä osa varmasti osaa selostaa.

That's not really the big deal, the thing is that several politically elected members of one partically retarded party STILL think it's all cool and good to be an fascist internet tough guy threatening violence
