    This is a right wing government backing the interests of fossil fuels, by implementing policy that delays any meaningful reduction in fossil fuel use.

    Simply incorrect and ignorant and I could leave it at that.

    But I won’t so here:

    1. Nuclear is carbon neutral

    2. The majority of Swedens energy production is still renewable and will continue to grow

    3. Nuclear is absolutely necessary for load balance

    4. Current nuclear plants are nearing their end of life and needs to be replaced

        The points I listed are the strongest arguments to expand nuclear power which both the left and right of Riksdagen generally agrees on.

        So how this is a right wing conspiracy to further the fossil energy industry as you point out is still to me a mystery, that’s all you need to explain.

      i heard that nuclear still kind of heats up the earth since its not outputting what has been put in by the sun before. Supposedly thats a problem since space is a good insulator.

        It’s a negligible amount of heat. Something like 0.000001% of the greenhouse effect from fossil fuels. Almost unmeasurable.
