  • Rebecca Harms, Greens/EFA MEP, Germany
    Nuclear will never be an answer to climate change. It has its own risks: another accident could face us again with the devastating consequences, like in Chernobyl. The unsolved problem of nuclear waste and the risk of proliferation, i.e. the military use of nuclear, should prevent the nuclear euphoria.
  • Mycle Schneider, international nuclear policy consultant , France
    Since the Chernobyl accident, hundreds of so-called 'events' (i.e. incidents) happened in various nuclear power plants throughout the world. So a lot of smaller 'events' put the integrity of nuclear power plants into question .
  • Claude Turmes, Greens/EFA MEP, Luxembourg
    Greens think that the nuclear technology has so many problems that it is not the way ahead. Cutting down energy waste with an increased energy efficiency and investing massively in renewables is the right way to go!
  • Jim Harding, Independent energy consultant, USA
    Is nuclear power a response to global warming and energy issues? First of all nuclear power is far too expensive to be an attractive solution and it is a myth that this industry can expand rapidly. Alternatives are a much better way to go, especially renewables and energy conservation if we want to address the climate problem rapidly!
  • Dhirendra Sharma, Director of the Centre for Science Policy, Dehradun, India
    India was offered support for nuclear technology and systems by several states which already largely use nuclear energy like the US, UK, France and Russia. However India has enough renewable energy resources and should not choose a dangerous and complex technology.
