“I think something positive will come out of this catastrophe, Putin’s war, because Europe will turn off Russian hydrocarbons,” Johnson said, speaking at the construction site of a nuclear power plant in eastern England.. “We will no longer be vulnerable to blackmail, and at home we will significantly accelerate long overdue reforms and moves towards energy independence, in particular by repairing the damage done to our nuclear industry.”.

Recall that the European Parliament recognized that investments in nuclear energy and gas are consistent with the concept of sustainable development under certain conditions.. This means that nuclear power plants, which until recently were going to be closed, are moving into the category of “green”.
