Szerb atomopció

February 21, 2018

Szerbiában tilos atomerőművet építeni. Minek is? Déli szomszédunk energiatermelése ötödrészben már megújulókon alapul, zöldkapacitásainak ráadásul csak a harmadát használja ki, látványosan nyit a szélenergia felé, lignitje is van bőven, és remek importlehetőségekkel rendelkezik.

Accompanied by a public action, Bankwatch and Global 2000 presented European Commission vice-president Maroš Šefčovič with this open letter. The letter points out the inconsistencies behind European public money supporting lifetime extension of soviet era nuclear reactors in Ukraine, which are made in violation of international environmental conventions and with insufficient implementation of safety requirements.
