There are some salient ideas in the report. For example, it notes that ‘nuclear energy currently provides the European Union with 32% of its electricity and that the Commission considered it (…) to be one of the main CO2-free sources of energy in Europe and the third-cheapest in Europe.’ It then draws the conclusion that ‘the EU, in line with the Euratom Treaty, should defend its industrial and technical leadership in the light of the vigorous revival by other actors of their nuclear activities (Russia, USA) and the emergence of new world actors on the nuclear stage (China and India) which will be the European Union’s competitors in the medium term.’
I understand and acknowledge that this is an option with well-documented problems, one that arouses negative reactions, but I feel that nuclear energy should not be ruled out when it comes to the future of energy supply, due to the costs involved, the environmental impact and technological solutions involving the fewest risks.
In my opinion, it is in diversity and technological innovation that we must find the response to the current energy challenges and issues associated with them."@en1
