In the mid-2030s, and I am very happy, Busch, who is also Minister for Energy and Industry, answers the straightforward question.

At the same time, she has said that new nuclear power will be built without a single state penny. However, the government has prepared for the fact that new nuclear power could cost the state several hundred billion kronor, including several billion in loans and 400 billion in a guarantee on the electricity price.

That's a lot of money, says Busch.

It's a loan and a price hedging agreement. We're talking about heavy basic infrastructure, which no one can do without.

The state has also become the main owner of the company Videberg Kraft, Vattenfall's project at Ringhals. When asked whether the state will build new nuclear power on the Värö Peninsula, Busch answers yes.

It is a good investment for Sweden. It builds Sweden strong in turbulent times.

During the hearing, the KD leader was also asked about her open flattery towards the Social Democrats' Magdalena Andersson and replied that she would not be a support wheel for the S leader.

It is not my job to put together Magdalena Andersson's fantasy government.

Only in a crisis, war or an exceptional situation can she support an S government.

If we put Sweden in danger by remaining leaderless, then I would be prepared to take responsibility across the bloc, says Busch.
