Brussels wants to divert money flows to renewable energies such as solar and wind power. That is why the Commission has divided the world into “green” and “not green”. The fact that nuclear power and natural gas should also be “sustainable” was controversial. But Parliament is now supporting the course.
Nuclear power plants should also be considered “green”: closed plant in Grohnde, Lower Saxony.
Rarely has the situation before a vote in the EU Parliament been as exciting as on Wednesday. MEPs had to comment on part of the so-called EU taxonomy, specifically on the question of whether natural gas and nuclear power should be considered “green”.
