Reply to comment by openly_gray in Norway: Thunberg joins Indigenous protests against turbines. The young environmental activist says green energy cannot come at the expense of human rights. A court order has deemed the turbines' location in Norway illegal, as they disrupt Sami reindeer-herding traditions by DoremusJessup

It hurts the movement against this so called “green energy” because people see her name and immediately lose interest in what is being said.

Maybe the fact that issues are driven by name recognition not content is one of the problems today

The content were doing just fine before she got involved. My impression is that she is being brought in to discredit the cause. It is definitely working. Here we are, discussing her instead of these awful wind turbines. Guilty as charged.
