The most crucial topic is nuclear energy strategy and security. The speaker views nuclear energy as an alternative but strongly advocates for acquiring a stake in Finland and utilizing an import model to circumvent security risks and nuclear waste storage issues. This position is justified both politically and from a risk management standpoint.
