France, one of the world's nuclear powers, is going ahead with nuclear power, even after the Fukushima catastrophe. Eric Besson, Minister of Energy, reiterated this this morning in an interview with the newspaper Libération, underlining that "our country is not an isolated case".
“Barack Obama reiterated that there will be no suspension of nuclear energy in the USA – underlined Besson -. And even Japan has no intention of stopping its plants." No moratorium, therefore, in France. And speaking of the German decision, according to Besson “the only foreseeable effects are a greater use of coal and gas. With the consequence of higher emissions of greenhouse gases”.
