France has led the charge for nuclear power -- its main energy supply -- to be included, despite robust opposition from Austria and scepticism from Germany, which is in the process of shutting all its nuclear plants.
The proposal says the EU Commission"considers there is a role for natural gas and nuclear as a means to facilitate the transition towards a predominantly renewable-based future". Currently the bloc gets 26 percent of its energy from nuclear power, but Breton estimated that by 2050, that would be reduced to around 15 percent.
The proposal also states that for nuclear power, appropriate measures should be put in place for radioactive waste management and disposal. And it calls for the building of new nuclear power plants to be conditioned on permits given out before 2045, while work to extend the functioning of existing plants would need to be authorised before 2040.
If such investment is thrown into AGRICULTURE the world will be a better place for all...
