Buried behind the news of the supposed “attempted coup” in Russia this weekend, was the Swedish government’s announcement, last Wednesday, that they will be stepping back from their plans to go 100% renewable energy.
According to finance minister Elisabeth Svantesson, wind and solar power are simply not efficient or reliable enough to be trust to produce the entire country’s energy supply.
This has been celebrated in some circles as an example of a government taking a logical approach.
But, to be clear, this is not about refuting or rejecting the “climate change” agenda, but purely a question of methodology. Sweden is rejecting “renewable energy” goals, not net zero. Net zero is still very much on the cards…via nuclear power, what some still laughably call “clean energy”.
According to Euractive.com:
Sweden’s parliament on Tuesday (20 June) adopted a new energy target, giving the right-wing government the green light to push forward with plans to build new nuclear plants in a country that voted 40 years ago to phase out atomic power. Changing the target to “100% fossil-free” electricity, from “100% renewable” is key to the government’s plan to […] reach net zero emissions by 2045.”
Sweden has always been at the fore-front of climate messaging, introducing one of the first ever “Carbon Taxes” as early as 1991.
It’s also the case the Sweden recently approved a feasibility study for a massive carbon capture and storage (CCS) plant near Stockholm. CCS is among the bigger scams of the climate change narrative.
And yet this scrapping of renewable goals has been welcomed by some in the alternative sphere as Sweden “seeing sense”.
This is highly reminiscent of Sweden’s role in the Covid narrative – the “voice of reason”. The sensible rejection of the official narrative in favour of a very slightly different version of the official narrative.
Sweden pushed for no lockdowns and “early treatment” and herd immunity, but all of that actually served to underline that there was an actual pandemic that needed dealing with. Reinforcing the official story through carefully orchestrated dissent.
It looks like Sweden is about to cast itself in the same part for the Climate play.
Moving forward, the debate will be about “net zero via renewables” vs “net zero via nuclear”, without ever questioning whether we need to go “net zero” at all, or if it’s even physically possible to do so.

Dem Svedish bastads might have a brain amongst dem. See what happens when your not fully vaxxed and propagated.
They’ve been propagated, all right — by muslims and the Swedish women who have a fetish for them …

Go figure! I can’t help but say, I TOLD YOU SO! So now what? Back to the old global warming, save the snail darter & lies that we are killing the earth bull crap except this time everything will cost more and the ass-hats on top will have fatter bank accounts. Like I said, go figure!
Until the heat death of the universe, no, not possible.
All change requires energy.
One well placed shot to the Zaporazhey (sic) nuclear power plant in Ukraine will demonstrate the cleanliness of nuclear power again, since the Ukes seem to have forgotten about Chernobyl
The Euros have already been dosed by Chernobyl, so what is the big deal about another dose? /s
Sweden already gets 45% of its electricity from hydro power and could likely eke out some more with a little effort.
Hydro power is the probably the best of the renewable solutions, but is still vulnerable to drought conditions. Any reliable power grid needs diversity of supply from different sources. Even nuclear can be vunerable to unexpected design or manufacturing faults, possibly requiring multiple reactors of the same design to be taken off line until inspection and remedial work is completed, diversity of reactor design helps to mitigate this. Turns out diversity is good for something after all.
Me and me buddy laughing at Greta!

Because it’s stupid and a grift?
Wonder how much nuclear waste is buried in areas of West Texas?
I love West Texas, but who would notice?
Only if someone glowed in the dark.
Swedes – whether in Sweden or Minnesota – are the kind of people who look around and say “This is a great place. You know the only thing we’re missing? Somalis.”
So I’m surprised they have enough sense to end the farce about solar and wind.
bravo,Iska!
If only they would come to the same conclusion about Somalis.
That’s why I rate Scandinavians just barely above niggers. They have been dysgenic for too long.
They are fond of their chocolates, aren’t they?
I think you’re confusing the Swedes with the Swiss. If I recall correctly the Swedes preferred delicacy is rotting fish.
You seen one Scandinavian you’ve seen em all.
Did I just do a racism?
The Swiss are Saxons, Switzerland (land locked central Europe) is not in Scandinavia (coastal northern Europe).
Actually, Minnesota got the daily double over the years … hmong and somalis …
Minnesota got Hmong and Somalis
California got beans and tamales.
but Greta!?
Logical approach by any government regarding anything especially one with socialist feminized tendencies or. Commie Faggots like USA LMAO 😂
It doesn’t get cleaner than modern nuclear. What is this loon on about? Maybe that hydrocarbons are also renewable resources, but that’s supposed to be a secret so they can juice us.
In the new ” Green Religion ” you will have to pay for your sins with : CLIMATE INDULGENCES
Hands up if you’re not going to pay it. ✋
“Households will pay a £170-a-year green levy on energy bills in the coming days.”

Admitted fail. It had Greta’s how dare you? Post. Edit.
been there; done that, too.
Carry on.
You too, carry on.
People who dislike CO2-spewing energy are racist plant haters. Take that Greta.
How about Thorium reactors? Oh wait…..can’t turn those waste by-products into bombs.
Thorium reactors use thorium 232 an isotope of thorium that is fertile but non fissile, in operation it is transmuted into fissile uranium 233 which is the nuclear fuel. An additional fissile material or neutron source is required to initiate the fuel cycle. In operation fissile material byproducts including plutonium are still produced, though in lesser quantities than traditional uranium fuel reactors. Proliferation advantages are limited to the presence of uranium 232 making it more difficult to safely separate out the useful weapons grade materials. Production of a non fissile dirty bomb would still be relatively simple.
In summary Thorium reactors still produce hazardous by products that may be used to make nuclear weapons. Its’s just simpler to produce and extract those materials using traditional uranium reactors instead.
Thank you for the clarification. I honestly didn’t know that.
These typos are happening so often these days. They are starting to drive me insane. Not because I do not commit them. I do, but then I’m not a professional writer either. Get a third party to proof read them for God’s sake!
Sweden’s top green scientists: “Upon realizing it’s nightime here for months, solar panels suddenly seemed ridiculous for our purposes.”
Send Gurgling Greta a Sperm Dumpster shirt and a map of the best places in Stockholm to practice street prostitution.
Maybe a cheat sheet on good blowjobs.
