"Madam President, I would like to convey my sincerest condolences to the people of Japan, who have suffered from a terrible natural disaster during past weeks. Japan is being provided with assistance from the European Union, as well as from the Member States. The European Union will continue with any kind of assistance that the Japanese government regards appropriate to help them get through this terrible crisis.
However, the nuclear power plant alerts in Fukushima have provoked an emotional debate over the use of nuclear energy in the European Union in general. I would advise everyone to consider their positions dispassionately and keep in mind that the use of automobiles was not forbidden when an Irish scientist, Mary Ward, was thrown out of, and run over by, her cousin’s steam car on 31 August 1869.
Instead we should learn our lesson and increase investments both into nuclear safety and innovative research. Fossil fuel resources are exhaustible and renewable energy is still very much experimental. Nuclear energy, on the other hand, could hold the key to our future. If the first cavemen had been afraid of fire, we would still be living in the Stone Age."@en1
