Nuclear power should not be rejected offhand

In contrast to those who reject nuclear power offhand the Sydsvenska Dagbladet does not object to a nuclear renaissance a priori, recommending a broad compromise on which all political parties could agree: "It could well be that the new nuclear energy is so expensive that it cannot compete with renewable energies. ... But for goodness sakes, let the nuclear industry itself decide if it wants to make the investment. Do not condemn nuclear energy from the outset. A decision must be taken in the next legislative period, regardless of whether the government is red-green (Social Democrat and Green Party) or blue [liberal-conservative). A feeble energy policy risks nothing less than a powerless Sweden."
