"Madam President, the “Intelligent Energy – Europe” programme has genuinely created very favourable conditions for firms operating in the Community’s Member States and government institutions to prepare feasibility and market studies and business plans on reducing energy consumption and changing the way energy is used. This is a huge step forward in terms of reducing the causes of climate change, limiting and minimising pollution and achieving more efficient and rational energy use. However, when talking about truly intelligent energy, we should today discuss other principles, such as non-fossil-fuel-based energy in Europe. The options might include wind, solar and hydro energy. The search for new forms of energy should be the goal at which all programmes consolidating intelligent energy in Europe should be directed.
Member States’ investment in new and leading-edge technologies in the field of energy efficiency and in renewable energy sources should be promoted and funded. New and bold steps should in principle be taken today in order to ensure intelligent energy use. Let us plan for a future of new forms of energy, such as hydrogen power and new generations of nuclear technology. We are the generation on whose action it depends whether we will safeguard the earth for future generations or will condemn it to a slow but inevitable death in 100 or 200 years’ time. Let us choose those actions and let us follow those principles which do not provide the slightest incentive to destroy what we did not create in the first place."@en1
