"At a time of global warming and on the eve of an unprecedented oil peak, electricity from nuclear power seems more than ever to be the energy of the future. Wind power and solar panels alone will be unable to meet our growing need for electricity. Nuclear energy will therefore have a key role to play, despite the positions taken recently by some parties. Categorical opposition to nuclear energy in favour of supposedly cleaner energy sources will result, in the immediate term, as demonstrated in Germany, in promoting the use of coal as a source of electricity. Where, then, is the environmental benefit? Rather than challenging an energy that has been developing since the inception of the EU, we must dedicate ourselves, as does this report, to proposing improved methods to manage the risks relating to nuclear power. It is precisely because we expect nuclear power to progress towards zero risk that we must give research the time and resources to achieve this ambition. I refer, in particular, to ITER, which is ultimately aiming to produce clean nuclear energy at four times the productivity level and which is nonetheless constantly criticised and threatened by the ecologists, who always vote against the European funds needed for this project."@en1
