VVD wants new nuclear power plants quickly Interior

The Cabinet wishes to reach an early agreement on the climate, in which greenhouse gas emissions, CO2, must be drastically reduced. According to the VVD party, nuclear energy with the sun and the wind is a set of interesting measures to achieve climate goals. He points out that nuclear energy does not emit CO2.

The coalition partner, D66, sees nothing in the plan. The leader of D66, Rob Jetten, said that he really wanted to consider the proposals, but he thinks that newer, more powerful techniques are possible than nuclear energy. ,, This is one of the Klaasballons now well known: say something totally unrealistic, get a position of VVD in the news. A lot of noise, but in the end nothing has changed, "says Jesse Klaver, GroenLinks executive, on Twitter. ,, It takes at least ten years to build a nuclear power plant in the Netherlands. At that point, we should emit half as much CO2. The climate problem is more urgent. "
