The Left Party is furious after the Social Democrats' Anders Ygeman and the Center Party's Rickard Nordin appeared on SVT's Aktuellt. "Incredibly ugly," writes deputy party leader Ida Gabrielsson on X.
SwedenThe Center Party wants to increase the amount of biofuel in gasoline and diesel without making refueling more expensive. The party proposes lowering taxes on biofuels mixed with fossil fuels.
SwedenThe Riksdag has passed the law on how new nuclear power will be financed. But nothing is said about how high the price tag will be. It's like buying a pig, says Fredrik Olovsson (S).
BusinessThe opposition, not entirely unexpectedly, gives the government a failing grade for the nuclear power proposal. Even the S, which does not have any principled opposition to new reactors, thinks that one is being offered a pig in a poke – that is, without knowing what one gets.
Swedish politicsThe Centre Party claims that the government wants to burden Swedes with several hundred billion kronor to build 4-5 new nuclear reactors. A cheaper and equally effective alternative is to expand district heating and hydro power, according to C.
Swedish politicsMinister for Energy and Enterprise Ebba Busch is meeting the opposition today for energy talks. She hopes for broad consensus around the government's nuclear power plans. But the opposition primarily wants to focus on getting cheaper electricity in the short term.
BusinessThe earth has never been warmer than in 2024, states the EU's climate service Copernicus. The message "must be a wake-up call" for Climate Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (The Liberals), says the Social Democrats' climate policy spokesperson Anna-Caren Sätherberg.
Swedish politicsThe opposition parties S, C, and MP are worried that it will take too long to build out offshore wind power. They demand that the government back down on its decision not to pay the connection fee for the parks.
