Sweden Reconsiders Nuclear Power After 1980s Debate
The article reviews Sweden's cautious energy stance. It notes a 1989 non-binding referendum backing a phased nuclear phaseout, parliament moves in 1993 to close two reactors, and a 1995-96 plan, yet a Social Democratic shift in September seeks to keep all 12 reactors. It highlights public concern about fossil fuel greenhouse effects and Swedes’ preference to keep nuclear if safe and economical. It contrasts American nuclear panic with Sweden’s measured approach.
