"I want to congratulate the Commissioner on his statements stressing the importance of nuclear energy and its absolute transparency.
The numbers are not deceiving: oil and gas prices will continue to rise; the pressure created by the world’s consumption of energy will continue to build; our own energy needs will continue to develop, and yet, at the same time, we cannot fail to meet our responsibilities, in particular the urgent need to combat CO
emissions.
As a result, nuclear energy must be on the agenda and we cannot avoid this. We cannot rule out any significant source of energy from the energy mix, particularly where this is clean and safe. Obviously we need renewables, but that is not enough. Yes, we need energy efficiency, but that is not enough. Yes, we need good biofuels, but that is not enough.
We must therefore make a choice: either nuclear energy is bad and must be banned or, if it is not banned because it is safe and because the technology and science have advanced, everyone must benefit from its production.
What we must have is vision for the future or we will end up going from bad to worse and from worse to total disaster."@en1
