The fossil fuel supply will start to run out over the next few decades. As a major consumer of energy, Europe must prepare for the switch from fossil fuels to alternative sources of energy. In his report, Mr Turmes puts all his money on wind farms and biofuels.
These so-called sustainable sources of energy are not even part of the solution. They have, in the past, taken up a disproportionate share of the European budget without ever having been profitable, or showing any signs of becoming so. It is time Europe turned its attention to sustainable energy that in time can meet the requirements of our industries and consumers and struggled out of the grip in which the environmental lobby has kept us for years. We should stop being naive and dare to invest in nuclear energy and nuclear fusion.
In recent years, we have witnessed major scientific breakthroughs in those fields, but Europe is at risk of missing the boat in this respect because it has not thought about nuclear energy for the past 20 years. We cannot afford this attitude, if only because China, for example, throws up a new nuclear power plant every six months."@en1
