RT by @anapalacio: Nuclear shit storm in Norway 😮

Principal of Norwegian University of Science and Technology (@NTNU) resigns after trying to undermine freedom of speech!

In November @RystadEnergy released a report about nuclear energy in Norway. The report concluded that nuclear won’t have any impact in Norway before 2050.

The same day researchers at NTNU @JonasNoeland and Martin Nødland Hjelmland released a peer-reviewed paper with the opposite conclusion.

In response the principal at NTNU, Anne Borg tried to silence both researchers with a public opinion piece criticizing Jonas and Martin.

After journalists got access to text messages between Anne Borg and The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprises (@NHO_no), it has come to light that the principal were forced by industry to throw her own employees under the bus.

Together with @NorskIndustri and @FornybarNorge, NHO paid Rystad Energy to publish the report criticizing nuclear in Norway.

After several independent researchers, organizations, politicians and academics have criticized Anne Borgs obvious unprecedented and unacceptable connections with industry, she has now resigned as principal at NTNU.

Long live scientific freedom of speech, and goodbye to corrupt anti-nuclear activists 👏🏼
