On the possible state aid for nuclear energy - Statement of the Energiaklub
Consultation on Community Guidelines on State Aid for Environmental Protection
Taking into account the whole lifecycle of nuclear energy, with special attention to ore grades, figures show that CO2 emissions of nuclear can reach 210 g/kWh, while sustainable solutions produce much less. Moreover, nuclear energy is the least cost effective of all possible technology in avoiding CO2 emissions, and with the bottlenecks in delivering new nuclear units, nuclear energy will not be able to contribute significantly to the decrease of CO2 emissions. Finally, nuclear energy is associated with very serious risks that does not characterise any other technology. As a summary, nuclear energy cannot receive state aid as renewable energies do.
