Kristersson has made expanding nuclear power generation a key goal for his right-wing government, after closure of several reactors forced the country to rely more on less predictable renewable energy.

Yes, who knows if we will have any wind or sunshine at all in 2035?

It's much less predictable than the ever changing political landscape in your country or in the few countries that can deliver the necessary nuclear material.

And let's be clear, nuclear projects have taken much longer than planned in several countries. These are just a few little problems, not to speak of long term disposal.

But "the wind and the sun" can't be counted on.
