Sweden Shifts from 100% Renewable Energy to Nuclear Power for Reliability.

Sweden's parliament has adopted a new energy target, changing it to "100% fossil-free" electricity from "100% renewable," giving the government the green light to build new nuclear plants to meet an expected doubling of electricity demand by 2040 and reach net-zero emissions by 2045. The move has been praised for its common sense approach, with some experts suggesting it's time for the rest of the West to follow suit and invest in nuclear power. However, proposals to cut the bio-fuel mix in petrol and diesel could mean Sweden misses its 2030 emissions goals.
