Sweden is making it significantly easier to build new nuclear: faster permitting, more coastal sites, restart pathways, and funding for municipalities to plan SMRs/large reactors.
A smart, modern energy strategy built on reliability + decarbonization.

It’s 100% reasonable for Canadians to ask why ICE -- an agency under heavy scrutiny for deadly force and civil‑rights violations -- is operating quietly in 5 of our cities.
Cooperation is one thing. A foreign agency with a violent track record on our soil is another.

She's right: we’ve pretty much run out of time, and too many climate activists *still* stubbornly reject pragmatic tools like clean nuclear and strategic carbon capture.
Ideology isn’t a climate policy. We need results, not purity tests.

: I hear you—and I’ve felt that frustration too. But I’d gently suggest we avoid swinging to the opposite extreme. Just as anti-nuclear dogma can undermine climate action, so can blanket cynicism about renewables. Both can (and must) coexist in a serious decarbonization strategy. It’s not either/or.

: Totally get that—and I’ve felt the same at times. But I’ve also met plenty of pro-nuclear folks like me who are deeply committed to climate action and fully support renewables too. The loudest bad-faith actors can drown out the reasonable ones if we let them. Some bridges are worth building!
