Sweden Scraps 100% Renewable Energy Goal for More Reliable Nuclear Power

Sweden’s parliament has passed a new energy target, allowing the government to proceed with building new nuclear power plants. This decision deviates from the country’s previous goal of 100% renewable energy. The change in target aims to meet rising electricity demand and achieve net-zero emissions by 2045. Meanwhile, the growing demands to combat climate change come with estimated costs of trillions of dollars per year.
