The Green League party in Finland is kind of interesting when compared to other Greens worldwide. They used to be vehemently anti-nuclear, having for example previously left a government due to decisions related to investments in new nuclear power plants (as referred in TFA). However, since then they've:
- Removed the opposition to nuclear power from their official party program
- Just recently elected a known pro-nuclear vice-chairman
- Now this, lobbying for inclusion of nuclear energy in the EU as sustainable
Also, a sub-organization Finnish Greens for Science and Technology (Viite) (also pro-nuclear, pro-GMO, etc.) has taken a nice foothold in the party.
Commendable to see people coming around and updating their beliefs.
