The European Union will probably classify nuclear energy among clean sources – ČT24 – Czech Television

The energy price crisis that Europe is now experiencing is also changing the way we look at its sources. Following pressure from France, Finland and even the Czech Republic, Brussels is moving towards recognizing nuclear energy as environmentally friendly. The Union does not want to be dependent on unreliable gas supplies abroad.

“Renewables and nuclear energy are generated at home. So we are independent in that. But we have to import ninety percent of the gas, “said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

At the same time, nuclear electricity was something that the European Union had recently overlooked. It was the pressure of countries like Austria, Germany and Luxembourg, which considered nuclear energy unclean. But this is no longer the case. The prevailing view in the Union was that in addition to unstable solar panels or wind turbines, it also needed a stable source of electricity generation.


The Czechia is celebrating

The European Commission should present a list of net resources by the end of the year. According to the latest caloric sources, the nucleus should be among them.

“From the point of view of the Czech Republic, the path leads only through the core as a resource that we perceive as sustainable and emission-free,” commented the Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to the Union Jaroslav Zajíček.

According to Zajíček, this is a shift that seemed impossible a few years ago. “It simply came to our notice then. I think a lot of people realized that we can’t have everything, “he added.
