This photograph taken on October 2, 2026 shows a turbine blade lying near a wind power plant in Sri Lanka's Mannar Peninsula. The government aims to generate 70 percent of the country's electricity from renewable sources by 2030, including wind power. But it has frozen new projects in Mannar to ease local opposition. Since they appeared six years ago, the Mannar wind turbines have been blamed for a host of problems -- from dwindling catches to floods, fuelling opposition to green energy projects as fuel costs soar.
