Slovak Prime Minister Says Country Does Not Need Wind Farms for Energy Independence

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico declared that Slovakia does not need wind farms to achieve energy independence, citing the country's current energy composition. Fico argued that Slovakia already has an excellent energy mix, producing 85% of its electricity from carbon-free sources. The prime minister also referenced the country's plans for nuclear energy development as part of Slovakia's energy strategy.
