"Despite its general title, once the gift wrapping has been removed, it readily becomes apparent that the draft resolution proposed by Mr Chichester is intended primarily to promote the nuclear industry on the pretext that it does not produce much CO2, at least as far as the power plants are concerned. Indeed, while it remains extremely vague on most environmental matters related to the energy sector, this resolution proposes that, in future, in the countries of the EU, nuclear-based electricity production should at least retain the share which it currently has. And this at a time when an increasing number of European countries are deciding to get out of nuclear power.
However, rather more than electricity production, the reduction of CO2 emissions involves the problem of the organisation of transport – a point of which the resolution makes no mention. It is silent, too, on the considerable risks inherent in nuclear-based electricity production and the accumulation, over the very long term, of radioactive waste!
We can do nothing other than vote against this draft resolution."@en1
