Svenska kraftjätten vill se sänkt elskatt

Sänk elskatten och förbättra förutsättningarna för investeringar på elområdet. Det föreslår Vattenfalls vd Anna Borg, som vill se krafttag för att minska beroendet av fossila bränslen. ”Kriget, med rusande priser på naturgas och olja, visar hur sårbart Europa är genom sitt beroende av fossila bränslen”, säger hon.
