With only four days left until the election, the two prime ministerial candidates clash in Gasklockorna in Gävle.

They both received a question from the audience about the construction of new onshore wind turbines.

Onshore wind, we have reached a point where we don't need much more of it, says Ulf Kristersson.

He instead wants to see more nuclear power.

Magdalena Andersson thinks that those who live near onshore wind turbines need to be compensated more.

We think that those who live nearby should receive more compensation than they currently receive, she says.

At the same time, she believes that the government has pulled the rug out from under large offshore wind farms by not replacing the cable expansion.

"If I have the privilege of becoming Prime Minister of Sweden, I want to make sure that it is possible for these companies to build this offshore wind power. It goes faster in nuclear power," says Andersson.
