ourselves had a large concrete mixer. So we found one at a very cheap
price, because the economy of our society is in a crisis—therefore the
means of production are for sale cheap.
• While F. L. Smidth's concrete experts advised us not to try to pour the
tower without their expensive help, their so-called “wind power expert”
abused us on the phone. He called us “You who are destroying the
whole wind power cause by trying to build a windmill”. We answered
back by adding seven people to the windmill group.
• While boards of one foundation after the other, governmental or
private, pried into our applications for financial support for our work
to find a tiny reason for saying no, no and no again, common people
from the whole country flocked to the building site to look, to talk, to
tell us their thoughts about energy.
• We continue building until the end, until the beginning. The blades have
started to go round, the production of electricity increases with every
month while neighbours gather and ask questions and get answers.
And tea.
• And while the Danish Television Company time and again gave
broadcasting time to our Minister of Commerce revealing the blessings
of nuclear power, at least 500 people a week confided to the mill
builders and the students and pupils at the schools that all people are
for wind power—and that it is only “the high-ups” who want nuclear
power.
• “It's the Government and the whole industry who want all this nuclear
business—because they will profit from it. That is why”. And so we
continued building, supported by the common opinion. By the opinion
of the many Danes.
• Nature is represented by the wind. The forces of society are planning
nuclear power plants, motorways, military bases and a lot of other
crap around us. While we were binding the first iron, the Industrial
Board were discussing where to place Denmark's first nuclear power
plant. We entered the debate, in writing, in speech and continued iron
binding.
• The government is preparing a proposal for nuclear power plants. It is
to be put before the “Folketinget”, the Danish parliament soon. Maybe
we cannot stop them doing it. But we and many people are learning
that together we can change anything we want to. Even if the next
tower has to be built into the skies.
