Speaking on #energy in light of the Russian-Ukrainian war @InstituteDanube:

- EU countries should reopen closed coal & nuclear power plants.
- Current sanctions seem to harm Europe more than Russia.
- We have to prioritize affordable & reliable energy. Renewables won’t suffice

Our dependence on Russian gas is the result of climate policy in Brussels. A deep recession is imminent: my message: "Continue to support #Ukraine, do not commit economic suicide. Draw a line through the Green Deal and focus on nuclear energy!" #ECR

The sustainable finance agenda urgently needs rules for transitioning away from environmentally harmful investments. Great report on that👇. I call on @McGuinnessEU to prioritise extending the taxonomy. This also offers alternatives to labelling gas and nuclear as "sustainable".

"To take stock. You have destroyed the science-based standard, you have failed to find a political compromise and you have insulted European democracy"

Rob Roos (JA21) zo 20 mrt 2022, 14:12

We need reliable and affordable energy now:
1️⃣ Return now to our fossil sources and production capacity
2️⃣ Start investing in nuclear energy and MSR-research

Exactly this.
The energy transition has driven us into the arms of Russia. And #Greens in Germany have done everything they can to shut down #nuclear energy (the cleanest, lowest-carbon and safest way of generating energy) ⤵️

Ukraine’s proposal to revoke Russian IP-ranges and lock them out of global DNS is a bad idea. The effects will not be restricted to Russia, and it could incentivise China and Russia to leave RIPE, ICANN and other fora. Support Ukraine, but not by going nuclear on the internet

@_PaulSchmidt @spietikainen Nuclear we deliberately kept out, but majority wanted an option for the Commission to come back. We tried a total exclusion of fossils, but only managed a solid fossil exclusion. These two have been complicated from the start. Hoped the Commission would act wisely on that...

In a proper market, subsidies should not be permitted for #nuclear energy, but when the EU allows subsidies for specific energy sources, it should not discriminate against nuclear energy, certainly not on the basis of shady criteria.
