“The build-out of nuclear power for a greener Sweden”

“KD: To dismantle more of the reactors devoid of all rhyme or reason”

“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”

“the DEBATE. Nuclear power is not unproblematic. But in a world where energy demand is rapidly increasing as a result of digitisation and a growing elfordonsflotta, and where renewable energy sources, in no way can cover the human energiförsörjningsbehov – in the world needed nuclear power. “

“In Europe, where the Polish and German coal and Russian gas is seen as controversial option is nuclear power a necessity. Just so is the transition to a zero carbon society possible. Only then can Sweden’s and the EU’s energy security and independence are secured. “

“Nuclear power needed to slow climate change. As the least carbon-intensive source of energy is nuclear energy the de facto cleaner than renewable energy and is, according to the UN intergovernmental panel on climate change, essential in the green future. “

“For the achievement of the paris agreement and the global sustainability objectives is therefore called for more nuclear energy – not less.”

“Nulägesbilden in the EU is bleak. A full 44% of member states ‘ electricity is still from coal, gas and oil. Only 25 per cent comes from nuclear and 31% from wind, water and solar power and biofuels. “

“The more than 20% of the union’s electricity coming from coal-fired power stations contribute 60% of the elproduktionens total climate impact. “

“Of the union’s carbon-based electricity generation is Germany and Poland for more than half. Germany also has the sixth highest emissions in the world. So, it looked not out, before Germany discontinued nuclear power.”

“And so it may not continue. It is therefore welcome that the EUROPEAN union-the commission, after years of negligerande, now want to make nuclear power the backbone of the eu energy system. You have come to the conclusion that the climate targets can’t be reached without more nuclear power.”

“Nuclear power is thus required to guarantee our energy security. Today, nuclear power for more than 40 per cent of Sweden’s electricity production, which is in parity with the hydropower share. “

“However, one should bear in mind that the 63 terawatt hours (TWh) of which nuclear power generates from the eight reactors in Forsmark, Oskarshamn and Ringhals nuclear power plant, while 1 800 hydroelectric power stations to generate 64 TWh per year. In order to generate the 17 TWh (or 11%) of electricity generation that comes from wind power requires about 3 400 wind turbines. “

“It would in other words require a ‘doubling’ of the current 1 800 hydroelectric power stations or more than 12 600 wind turbines to annually generate as much electricity as eight nuclear reactors.”

“Without nuclear energy and its obvious efficiency gains risks we continued threat of power shortages, and the risk for future dependence on gas from skendemokratier as Russia. “

“Nuclear energy needed to secure our independence. At present, it is the only energy source that can reduce the continent’s dependence on Russian gas. “

“In the context it is problematic that Germany and other member states stand behind the Nord Stream gas pipeline 2. This will increase the EU’s dependence on Russian energy. In this way legitimized the Russian aggressionskrig in Ukraine, and its increased number of violations of other states ‘ waters and airspace in and around the Baltic sea. Thus allowed Putin to dictate the agenda. “

“Nuclear power is needed to the year 2045 to be climate neutral, and for that, we until then, as a part of the EU, shall clear our energy supply independent of the others’ pressure. “

“in a recurring threat if’s electricity deficit continue the decommissioning of the Swedish nuclear power through the planned closure of two additional reactors (Ringhals 1 and 2) devoid of all rhyme or reason. “

“A vote for the Christian democrats in the elections to the european Parliament the 26 of may is a vote on a fact-based energy policy that makes Sweden and the EU greener, more independent and more secure.”
