> through various political motivated decisions

Politics is how policy is determined. People have tried other ways. Sometimes they worked. For a while.

Diverting money from building out renewables (and transmission lines) to build nukes ensures, at minimum, another decade of increasing reliance on oil and gas, and then paying more for power than you would have for renewables.

Politics aimed at making a specific type of energy unprofitable by taxing it to death is not. It's activism.

Sweden cannot depend on solar alone, we have plenty of hydro in the northern parts of the country and wind doesn't work during winter. Wind also kills birds and insects, en masse.

People have an irrational fear towards nuclear. Fact is, very few people have died because of nuclear energy. If you compare deaths vs produced watts, nuclear is the single safest energy source by several orders of magnitudes.

Also, I don't know if that's a typo or a misunderstanding but we are not talking about nuclear weapons, i.e. nukes we are talking about thermonuclear energy production. These are two different things altogether.
