In a debate article in DN, signed by Ulf Kristersson and Jessica Rosencrantz, climate policy spokesperson, the Moderates now present a proposal for a national reform agenda for the climate.
These are nine proposals which, according to the party, will be included in a bill at the Moderates' forthcoming general meeting and will be launched if they win the parliamentary election and form a government next year.
"Nuclear power must be protected"
Among other things, the party wants to increase electricity production with more nuclear power and change the energy policy goal from "renewable" to fossil-free ".
“Existing nuclear power must be protected.
With a new research reactor, the foundation is being laid for the next generation of nuclear power. ”
In addition, the party wants to have faster environmental permit tests, pave the way for Sweden to become "a leading mining nation" and invest in new technologies for industrial change, including technologies for capturing and storing carbon dioxide.
The moderates also write that they want to "use the forest sustainably" and protect property rights.
"Sweden's 300,000 forest owners will be allowed to continue to use the forest for the benefit of the climate, the environment and biodiversity."
Want to be at the forefront of green growth
The moderates state that inspiration for the "new start" has been taken from Europe's "green right" in the form of the German CDU and British Tories.
The goal is to become "a world leader in green growth".
"The state and capital need to understand each other and help each other," the party representatives write further.
Other signatories are Anna König Jerlmyr (M), group leader for the Moderates in the city of Stockholm, Anna Tenje (M), chairman of the municipal board Växjö, Peter Danielsson (M), chairman of the municipal board Helsingborg, and Johan Abrahamsson (M), chairman of the municipal board Mariestad
