Nuclear energy has been referred to as one of the energy sources that produces least carbon. Nuclear fission, moreover, is viewed as one of the better ways of addressing ‘climate change’, with saving and efficiency relegated to secondary importance.
We feel, however, that energy saving, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources should be at the forefront of any energy policy. In this field we should be promoting and carrying out more public research with the aim of achieving genuinely alternative energy that responds to the people’s needs and to the demands of a sustainable development policy for our society.
The increasing liberalisation of the energy sector promoted in the EU, pandering to the interests of the large multinationals, undermines people’s right to secure energy at affordable prices. Given the importance of this sector to the development of any country, we argue that it should be kept in the public sector and are thus opposed to its privatisation.
In addition, we are concerned about the report’s approach of promoting nuclear energy, given that the dangers associated with producing this form of energy – dangers, that is, to the environment and to the people, dangers to the safety of the plant itself and the reactors, and the dangers involved in the processing and transport of radioactive waste – are well known."@en1
