"As a result of the votes today billions of euros will be pumped into the nuclear energy industry and will serve as a boost to this inherently dangerous technology. The madness of capitalism is nowhere more clearly on display than in the fact that, despite disaster after disaster, there is an increase in the number of nuclear power plants being built. The IAEA estimate that we could see nearly a doubling of global generation capacity by 2030. The neo liberal agenda does not exempt this deadly technology from privatisation and liberalisation. The disaster in Fukushima, which continues to pose a grave threat, graphically demonstrates that big business cannot be trusted to put safety ahead of profit when it comes to nuclear power. Nuclear power and energy production must be placed under democratic public ownership and control where ordinary people have full control over safety and can plan the safest and most efficient methods of moving away from nuclear power. Instead of pumping billions into nuclear we need a massive plan of investment in renewable energy production so we can move away from fossil fuels and nuclear energy in favour of genuinely renewable and sustainable energy production."@en1
