The Green Party's demand to support the Social Democrats in the 2014 and 2018 elections was that Sweden should decommission our fully functional nuclear power plants. They managed to decommission 6 of our 12 nuclear power plants.
Since this phase-out, Sweden is always at risk of having to introduce temporary and regional electricity rationing. Especially during the winter.
Sweden has an enormous resource in hydropower, which is our biggest source of energy. Unfortunately, we cannot replace the lost nuclear power plants with the expansion of additional hydropower. We have already affected nature significantly through the existing hydropower.
The project to produce fossil-free steel increase the risk of power outages, significantly higher electricity prices and above all electricity rationing because the amount of electricity needed to produce fossil-free steel is gigantic.
It is sad that the Social Democrats put power ahead of a reliable electricity grid.
