To Berlingske he says
"We are building a safe and stable energy system in Denmark. In my opinion the excessive focus on offshore wind has some worrying and unfortunate effects, which could end up costing both consumers and Danish society immensely"

He follows up with:
"What if an agreement was made with the Swedes that we would like to help finance the renovation of their nuclear plants, in return for us getting some more power. That way you build on something you know can work"

Lars Rebien is being followed by Ørsted's CEO @NipperMads, who kind of supports Rebien in this announcement. Nipper goes so far as to announce that the state-owned @OrstedDK might want to invest in nuclear power in the future on Danish soil.

The announcements from two of Denmark's most influential CEO's testifies that a nuclear adventure is on its way. Denmark is otherwise known for being one of the absolute most staunch opponents of nuclear power in the world.

Denmark even have a parliamentary resolution from 1985 that excludes nuclear power from Danish energy planning. The announcements from the top CEO's are going to change the conversation in Denmark forever.

In recent years, we have seen the governing party Social Democrats almost ghost-likely stay away from the conversation.
This is no longer possible. The population will demand a debate in which everyone must participate. It is inevitable and just a matter of time.
