"Madam President, regarding the question on nuclear power I find it interesting that you have put this question to me, because you are asking me to choose between two uses of water that I find absolutely unacceptable. We are talking about water as an essential commodity, as an essential commodity for Humanity, and drinking water – that is what we are talking about. So it is impossible for me to compare the nuclear industry and shale gas extraction, because if you want my opinion on both, I think they are a total waste of water when it could be used for purposes that are much more useful for Humanity. With regard to the examples given by Mr Goebbels, it is not by chance that he mentions only two examples, one concerning the recycling of water and the other relating to the non-addition of chemicals, because in the overwhelming majority of explorations, in the overwhelming majority, what we are seeing is a total waste of drinking water and the addition of chemicals that stay in the ground. What I said and I repeat is: we do not know everything; there are some things we know. Our obligation, as a minimum, is to respond to the needs of people and the environment, and that is a duty of care that we must fulfil, both in our name and on behalf of those we represent."@en1
