    Nuclear power already plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions, and therefore must be part of the clean energy mix. To meet the growing demand for sustainable energy, we will need nuclear energy to provide 25% of electricity before 2050. #earthday #globalwarming

    Both the JRC and @UNECE agree that #nuclearenergy is sustainable. I urge the @Europarl_EN to prioritize science and the wellbeing of all Europeans and include nuclear in the #EUTaxonomy

    In my second week of @COP26, I stress that #nuclear power should be at the heart of any climate change action plans because it is a proven low-carbon, round-the-clock energy source, deployable at scale. youtube.com/watch?v=9B4Xbn… #netzeroneedsnuclear #COP26

    'There is no science-based evidence that nuclear energy does more harm to human health or to the environment than other electricity production technologies already included in the Taxonomy as activities supporting climate change mitigation”.

    Today at a #COP26 event organized by @iaeaorg, I said that if we want to keep the 1.5 ºC target within reach, we are going to need to deploy all the low-carbon proven technologies that we have at our disposal very quickly, and clearly #nuclear energy is one of them.

    The European Parliament must act pragmatically at its plenary session next month and include #nuclear in the EU taxonomy to support #energy sustainability, affordability, and security. Denying affordable finance to nuclear would result in higher energy bills for all Europeans.

    Today at COP28, we marked a historic day for the global nuclear industry. For the first time in 28 COP meetings, 22 governments have come together to express publicly their support for nuclear & to bring forward the target of at least tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050!

    The #europeanparliament positive vote sends a clear endorsement of #nuclearenergy to the financial community. It has listened to the science and recognized that sustainable investment in nuclear energy will help the EU reach net-zero by 2050. #eutaxonomy

    I applaud the leadership of the UK Government, which just released a new finance model that will encourage private investment into new nuclear projects, thus cutting the cost of new nuclear power plants.

    For the first time ever, accelerating #NuclearEnergy has been recognized as a means to achieve ‘deep, rapid and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions’ in the Global Stocktake agreed today at #COP28UAE. This is an historic moment for nuclear energy and for the world!

    It is so exciting seeing #Perseverance, powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator successfully land on Mars today! This is just one more example of the many ways in which nuclear science and technology contributes to the advancement of humankind.⭐️mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/space…

    The first 2 days of the World Nuclear Symposium have been amazing and I am very grateful to all our speakers, delegates and sponsors for making this event so great. Today we have 2 more sessions on streamlining international licensing, & turning vision into reality. #nuclearsympo
