Personal thoughts
Challenging times ahead but,
Climate change cannot be solved easily with only Solar and Wind…
Finland shows another way forward…
Strong Swedish tradition of research and good education
So, challenges and problems are only there to be solved! Let’s plan
for the future of Nuclear through collaboration in SKC
Or as Mulle Meck says:
Problem är bara möjligheter i arbetskläder (Problems are just possibilities in work wear)
