Hasty push for wind, solar energy criticized for various side effects
성급한 풍력·태양 에너지 추진, 여러 부작용으로 비판 받아


By Baek Byung-yeul

The Moon Jae-in administration's drive to increase the use of solar, wind and other renewable energy has been facing resistance from farmers, fishermen and environmental activists after spawning a range of side effects, according to critics, Tuesday.
22일 비평가들에 따르면 태양, 풍력 및 다른 재생에너지의 사용을 증가시키려는 문재인 정부의 추진은 다양한 부작용을 낳은 후 농민, 어민 및 환경운동가들로부터의 저항에 직면해왔다.


Fishermen are protesting the installation of wind power generators in the sea citing harm to the marine ecosystem and endangering their livelihoods.
어업인들은 바다에 풍력 발전기 설치가 해양생태계를 파괴하고 해양 생물의 생존을 위협할 수 있다는 이유를 대며 반대 시위를 펼치고 있다.


In addition, solar power generation facilities have been extensively installed in fields and on mountains, leading to opposition from residents of those areas for damaging the natural environment.
추가적으로 태양 발전 시설은 평지와 산 위에 광범위하게 설치되어 해당 지역 주민들로부터 자연 환경을 훼손한다는 이유로 반대로 이어져 왔다.


Experts pointed out that the government is trying to forcefully increase the proportion of renewable energy in line with its plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
전문가들은 정부가 2050년까지 탄소 중립을 성취하겠다는 계획에 맞춰 재생 에너지의 비율을 무리하게 증가시키려 하고 있다고 지적했다.


"Nowadays, offshore wind power operators do not gain control through auctions as in the United States. Instead they can acquire business rights by attaching wind power measuring tools in the sea. Local governments are also offering licenses to comply with the central government's carbon neutrality drive," Park Ho-jeong, a professor at the Department of Food and Resource Economics at Korea University, said.
박호정 고려대 식품자원경제학과 교수는 "최근 해상풍력 발전기는 미국에서처럼 경매를 통해 통제권을 얻지 않는다. 대신 이 발전기는 풍력 발전 측정 도구를 바다에 부여하며 사업권을 획득할 수 있다. 지방정부들 역시 중앙정부의 탄소 중립 추진에 부응하는 자격증을 제공하고 있다"고 말했다.
