It was then the inventor of the atomic bomb, Robert Oppenheimer, who pointed out how nuclear fission radically changed the conditions of human life; today, among others, it is "the godfather of AI" Geoffrey Hinton who warns that the new technology could annihilate all of humanity. #AI #Kärnkraft #ExistentiellaRisker (translated)
During the Cold War, U.S. President Harry Truman referred to Robert Oppenheimer as a "crybaby"; today, it is Donald Trump who dismisses both regulations and concerned researchers who could stand in the way of the U.S. triumph in the AI arms race against China. #AI #Kärnkraft #ExistentiellaRisker (translated)
It is Tomas Ramberg who reminds of Fälldin's Old Testament promise in his book about the history of Swedish nuclear power, "To Compromise with One's Conviction." #AI #Kärnkraft #ExistentiellaRisker (translated)
Björn Wiman points out in his article that the existential risks of artificial intelligence resemble the debate about nuclear power in the 1950s, where the warning first came from those who created the technology, with a particular emphasis on the fact that women have historically been the ones to see the dangers earliest. #AI #Kärnkraft #ExistentiellaRisker (translated)
Aron Flam wrote that France still had nuclear power, while Germany had shut down its and purchased Chinese replacements. He claimed that Sweden had hydroelectric power and reactors but had agreed to forgo the reactors, and that the power grid could not be maintained if supplies were halted without its own inverters, cells, and high-voltage parts. Flam said that this was the situation Doran and Shaffer described. According to him, China had expanded more of each energy type, the USA was pressured to shut down its power production, and Europe had already shut down its, while lacking the energy and manufacturing an ally would need if a conflict was no longer decided at the negotiating table. He wrote that this was why he believed energy policy was security policy and referred to a whole section on YouTube. #Energipolitik #Kärnkraft #Säkerhetspolitik (translated)
Ebba Busch (KD) criticizes Motala's decision to say no to nuclear power and believes that an expansion would lead to more stable and lower electricity prices, as well as reduce Sweden's dependence on other countries. #Kärnkraft #EbbaBusch #Motala (translated)
Donald Trump expresses his anger over leaks to the media during a campaign rally in Arizona, where he suggests that those responsible should be imprisoned and shot for revealing secret information about a military operation against Iranian nuclear facilities. #Trump #medieläckor #amerikanskpolitik (translated)
Mats Yxhäll accused SVT of once again missing the connection between shut down and halted nuclear power and the water reservoirs. He claimed that more of the old reactors, as well as two new reactors since last year, would have been in operation if the Social Democrats had not given the Green Party free rein. According to Yxhäll, this electricity production would have reduced the need for hydropower and made the reservoirs fuller. He wrote that the shutdown of what he called the world's best electricity system and the dependency on weather-dependent wind power now had consequences. #Kärnkraft #Energipolitik #Sverige (translated)
Ebba Busch wrote that during her term, she believed that Sweden had taken historic steps to enable new nuclear power and strengthen the country's energy security. After a visit to Westinghouse in Västerås, she stated that the company manufactured nuclear fuel that contributed to Ukraine's electricity supply and helped Europe reduce its dependence on Russia. She wrote that Westinghouse planned an investment of over one billion kronor to expand its operations. Busch warned that political forces wanting to return to anti-nuclear sentiment and energy policy experiments could jeopardize development and increase Sweden's dependence on the outside world. She wrote that Sweden should look forward and take advantage of its position as a nuclear power nation. #Kärnkraft #Energisäkerhet #Sverigeframåt (translated)

Mats Ekberg wrote that the problems arose after half of Sweden's nuclear power plants were shut down and the remaining ones needed maintenance. He argued that opponents of nuclear power had significantly reduced electricity production and that Claes should also understand that. #kärnkraft #energi #Sverige (translated)
Motala municipality does not want to build nuclear power plants, according to the new red-green leadership that expresses a clear opposition to the plans. #Motala #kärnkraft #lokalpolitik (translated)

The writer stated that the Social Democrats agreed to new nuclear power that day, but claimed that Magdalena Andersson's efforts to gather a government base were hindered by the fact that the Green Party and the Left Party had completely different starting points in energy policy. The writer described a potential red-green government base as a mess. https://t.co/RsajXsa9yj #kärnkraft #energipolitik #socialdemokraterna #SE (translated)
The writer stated that the Social Democrats had changed their stance on nuclear power, but that the party needed to show that the line held even when the Green Party and the Left Party made their demands. If Magdalena Andersson succeeded in bringing the red-green parties together, the writer urged her not to abandon nuclear power again and not to halt the expansion. #kärnkraft #politik #Miljö #SE (translated)
