"Energy emergency in Europe, it seems that finally the Commission is also preparing to recognize gas and nuclear power as" Green energies ". Italy cannot stand still, the League is also ready to collect signatures for a Referendum that brings our country in an independent, safe and clean energy future ".
Lega leader Matteo Salvini says this in reference to the news that the EU Commission
has drawn up a draft plan to include nuclear energy and natural gas as green sources
, with the aim of accelerating the path towards an emissions-friendly Europe zero.
If the plan receives the support of a majority of member states, it
will enter into force from 2023
. In a note, the Commission recalls that "some parts of Europe are still heavily reliant on high-carbon carbon". On the contrary, it is "believed that natural gas and nuclear power play a role as means to facilitate the transition towards a future mainly based on renewable energies". In this perspective, "this would mean classifying these energy sources in the EU taxonomy, under clear and strict conditions (for example, the gas must come from renewable sources or have low emissions by 2035), in particular because they contribute to the transition towards neutrality. climatic ". This draft will be open for input from Member State experts until 12 January. Then the Commission "will formally adopt the act" and submit it to thescrutiny by the European Parliament and the Council.
