S and MP agree on nuclear power – Expressen

S and MP agree on nuclear power – Expressen

The Green Party and the Social Democrats have agreed on nuclear power.

The security requirements increase, tax revenue, the fees are raised – and Vattenfall’s plans for new nuclear power is interrupted, the Expressen reveal.

But, as regards the requirement of closure of existing reactors have Green Party run over by Stefan Löfven – again.

The echo data on the nuclear agreement confirmed Expressen.se of spokesperson Gustav Fridolin through Press Secretary Adam Berg Sveen :

– Faster phasing and practically no new reactors, he observes.

During Wednesday morning increased the pressure on the Green Party to make an impact on their climate policies.

Environmental Movement requirements

The environmental movement has high demands on a red-green government.

It wants nuclear reactors shut, climate change intensifies, environmental taxes will be raised and the billions spent on the train, reported news agency TT.

The Green Party has always been a close associate of the environmental movement, but when the party for the first time to sit in a government you have to deliver.

– We need a government that dares to go in and set realistic and necessary objectives said Annika Jacobsson, head of Greenpeace Sweden, to TT.

A moment later came the news:

The Green Party and the Social Democrats have agreed on nuclear power.

Phasing

The Green Party spokesperson Gustav Fridolin confirms to Expressen.se by the Press Secretary Adam Berg Sveen, which establishes that the agreement means “faster phase-out and practically no new reactors.”

According to Berg Sveen is the Green Party, the major winner when it comes to nuclear power.

– One hundred percent of what the Green Party negotiated, he said.

But it is not true.

The party repeated several times in the election campaign the two reactors should be shut down during the next term of office. No such agreement is not yet available.

Asa Romson to Expressen.se denies that the agreement with Stefan Löfven would mean a broken election promise.

When it is not written in the agreement that two reactors to be shut, you ensure that it takes place during the next term?

– I am quite sure that the reactors will be shut down for reasons of profitability during the next term. As we allow nuclear power to bear their own costs, it will become clear that it is no longer profitable.

– We have not been running that you should go in and close X number of reactors, or what exactly it would be because it would require a settlement types. Then the state would have to pay a lot of money to energy companies that they would close unprofitable reactors. We must avoid and let them bear their full costs, says Romson on.

How important is it now that you get through your requirements on environmental taxes?

– We have been clear from the beginning that the school and the environment are our main priorities. The agreement on energy was an important part, where we feel satisfied with what we come up with. Environmental taxes are important for us to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

Magdalena Andersson was evident as late as August that the Social Democrats are not going to raise the gasoline tax. How do you see it?

– I will not go into some numbers now. It comes in the budget.

A group leader in parliament Mikael Damberg is not worried that the party would appear to be the only winner in the nuclear showdown.

– We do not see it that way. We see it as we negotiate a unity in which both parties are satisfied, but also that we give and take in these negotiations to proceed. It is a difficult parliamentary situation where we must proceed from the realities that exist, he says.

But S wants unlike MP does not make any predictions as when a reactor can be expected to be closed.

– We have chosen not to make the assessment about who will close and not close in the future. I know that the Green party believes and feels that the market will close a number of reactors, and there are many analysts who are satisfied regardless of political decisions, says Mikael Damberg.

The echo says Social Democratic party leader Stefan Löfven on Wednesday morning that the requirement nuclear reactors are now the subject of an “analysis phase”.

– We have our input value in this, and we should have a status quo thinking right now.
