Coexistence

The party programme calls a radical expansion of renewable electricity production crucial for the climate transition, and the election manifesto demands public investment in renewable energy. The counter-proposal's demand for an assessment of how exercise activities can be organised without long-term hindering offshore wind power serves that commitment without denying total defence's needs, which the plan also recognises. The plan does not comment on the goal conflict as such, hence the derivation.

• radical expansion of renewablesdecisive»En radikal utbyggnad av den förnybara elproduktionen är avgörande« (party programme ↗)“A radical expansion of renewable electricity production is crucial”
• public investment in renewables»därför behöver staten gå in med satsningar på förnybar energi« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that is why the state needs to invest in renewable energy”
• modern total defence»Vi vill se ett modernt totalförsvar byggt på allmän värnplikt« (party programme ↗)“We want to see a modern total defence built on universal conscription”
• climate crisis»Vi befinner oss i ett klimatnödläge.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We are in a climate crisis.”

The election manifesto points out sea-based wind power as a major energy source and requires that bureaucratic obstacles and slow authorization processes are cleared away, while no sacred cows should exist in energy issues. A basis for how the defense's exercise activities can be organized without long-term blocking of sea-based wind power is exactly such an obstacle-removal. The plan meanwhile weighs in that military capability should be strengthened powerfully.

• expanded sea-based wind powerdecisive»Vindkraft långt ute till havs kan bidra med mycket energi« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Wind power far out to sea can contribute much energy”
• faster authorization processes»Långsamma tillståndsprocesser ska snabbas på« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Slow authorization processes should be sped up”
• technology-neutral power expansion»När det gäller att lösa Sveriges energibehov finns inga heliga kor« (2022 manifesto ↗)“When it comes to solving Sweden's energy needs there are no sacred cows”
• strengthened military capability»Kraftfullt stärka Sveriges militära förmåga« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Powerfully strengthen Sweden's military capability”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The election manifesto promises to rapidly expand offshore wind power throughout the country, and the party programme establishes the goal of one hundred percent renewable energy and that Sweden has natural conditions for wind power. Groundwork for how defense exercise activities can be organized without in the long term hindering offshore-based wind power is therefore directly in line with the plan.

• rapid offshore wind powerdecisive»bygga ut vindkraften till havs snabbt i hela landet, med hänsyn till livet i havet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“rapidly expand offshore wind power throughout the country, with consideration for life in the sea.”
• fully renewable energy system»100 procent förnybar energi« (2022 manifesto ↗)“100 percent renewable energy”
• good conditions for wind power»Vi lever i ett land med naturliga förutsättningar för att utveckla vindkraft,« (party programme ↗)“We live in a country with natural conditions to develop wind power,”

The plan wants to double emissions-free electricity production and sets a clear limit on how long wind power permits can take, while defense is to be rapidly strengthened. An analysis of how exercise activities can be organized without long-term hindrance to offshore wind power is exactly the conflict-of-interest solution the plan presupposes. The plan therefore supports the demand.

• rapid wind power deploymentdecisive»Minst 50 TWh utsläppsfri el måste börja byggas nästa mandatperiod. Det krävs en kriskommission för att snabbare öka Sveriges utsläppsfria elproduktion och tillstånd för vindkraft ska få ta max två år.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At least 50 TWh emissions-free electricity must begin to be built in the next term. A crisis commission is needed to more rapidly increase Sweden's emissions-free electricity production and wind power permits must take a maximum of two years.”
• doubled emissions-free electricity»Vi vill fördubbla produktionen av utsläppsfri el, och rusta och bygga ut elnätet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to double the production of emissions-free electricity, and upgrade and expand the power grid.”
• faster permit review»Det är dags att halvera tiden det tar att få tillstånd för gröna investeringar och reformera miljöbalken så att ett projekts klimatnytta ges större vikt i miljöprövningen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is time to halve the time it takes to obtain permission for green investments and reform the Environmental Code so that a project's climate benefit is given greater weight in environmental review.”
• strong defense capability»Vi vill rusta det militära försvaret snabbt, kraftfullt och långsiktigt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to rapidly, powerfully and long-term strengthen military defense.”

The plan wants to expand solar and wind power throughout the country and sees great potential in continued expansion of renewable energy, while a considerably stronger military defense is required. A basis for how exercise activities can be organized without permanently blocking offshore wind power is exactly what makes both commitments align. The plan also states that wind power shall be located where conditions are most suitable.

• more wind power throughout the countrydecisive»Ska vi få ner elpriserna krävs att vi bygger inte bara kärnkraft utan också mer sol- och vindkraft i hela landet, investerar i kraftsystemet och satsar på energilagring.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To get electricity prices down, we need to build not only nuclear power but also more solar and wind power throughout the country, invest in the power system, and invest in energy storage.”
• expanded renewable energy»fortsätta bygga ut förnybara energislag, bland annat vindkraft, solenergi, biogas och vågkraft.« (party programme ↗)“continue to expand renewable energy types, including wind power, solar energy, biogas, and wave power.”
• stronger military defense»Sverige behöver ett betydligt starkare militärt försvar än i dag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden needs a considerably stronger military defense than today.”
• appropriate localization of wind power»Utbyggnad av vindkraft ska koncentreras till redan exploaterade områden och platser med relativt« (party programme ↗)“Wind power expansion shall be concentrated in already exploited areas and places with relatively”

The election manifesto states that wind power can only be a complement and that nuclear power is what shall be expanded with long-term conditions. Preparing a foundation for how the defence's exercise activities shall be organized so that it does not in the long term prevent sea-based wind power subordinates the defence's needs to an energy source the plan does not prioritize. The Armed Forces' main task according to the plan is to protect life and freedom and to serve as a war deterrent.

• wind power only as complementdecisive»Bygg ut vindkraften men med respekt för den lokala demokratin och anpassa storleken efter lokala villkor. Vindkraft kan dock bara vara ett komplement.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Build out wind power but with respect for local democracy and adapt the size to local conditions. Wind power can, however, only be a complement.”
• nuclear power is prioritized»Satsa på kärnkraften med långsiktiga villkor att utvecklas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Invest in nuclear power with long-term conditions to develop.”
• defence's main task»Försvarsmaktens huvuduppgift är att värna männi« (party programme ↗)“The Armed Forces' main task is to protect people”
• war deterrent capacity»kan verka krigsavhållande vid säkerhetspolitiska kriser« (party programme ↗)“can serve as a war deterrent in security policy crises”

The counter-proposal demands a basis for how defence training operations should be organised so that it does not in the long term hinder offshore wind power, that is, that defence interests are adapted to wind power expansion. The plan holds the state's core non-negotiable and makes new nuclear power, not offshore wind power, the solution to energy supply. The plan admittedly recognises that all fossil-free energy sources are needed, but it weighs defence capability highest.

• defence is non-negotiabledecisive»Statens hårda kärna får aldrig vara förhandlingsbar.« (party programme ↗)“The state's core must never be negotiable.”
• nuclear power as energy solution»Ny kärnkraft är lösningen för att reparera Sveriges energisystem på lång sikt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“New nuclear power is the solution to repair Sweden's energy system in the long term.”
• war-deterring defence»Målet är att det svenska försvaret ska vara krigsavhållande och avskräcka en eventuell motståndare från att angripa Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The goal is that the Swedish defence should be war-deterring and deter a potential adversary from attacking Sweden.”
• all fossil-free energy sources contribute»Ska vi klara det behövs en elproduktion där alla fossilfria energikällor är med och bidrar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To manage that we need electricity production where all fossil-free energy sources are included and contribute.”

The plan establishes that marine and water environments should be prioritised more clearly over extensive wind power expansion and wants to preserve the municipal veto against wind power. It also prioritises a re-established total defence and plannable nuclear power over weather-dependent production. Developing guidance on how defence exercises should be adapted so that offshore wind power is not hindered contradicts these priorities.

• marine environment before wind powerdecisive»Vår havs- och vattenmiljö måste prioriteras tydligare framför ett allt för intensivt fiske och omfattande vindkraftsutbyggnad.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Our marine and water environments must be prioritised more clearly over excessively intensive fishing and extensive wind power expansion.”
• total defence first»Sverigedemokraterna vill återupprätta totalförsvaret och att Sverige ska ha förmåga att möta potentiella angripare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to restore total defence and for Sweden to have the capacity to meet potential attackers.”
• municipal veto against wind power»Värna det kommunala vetot vid etablering av vindkraft« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Protect the municipal veto in wind power development”
• nuclear power before wind power»Sverige behöver satsa på planerbar och fossilfri elproduktion. Kärnkraften är här central« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden needs to invest in plannable and fossil-free electricity production. Nuclear power is central here”
