Taxonomy: Nicola Beer reckons with nuclear power and natural gas

EU Vice-President of Parliament Nicola Beer (FDP) believes that nuclear power and natural gas are likely to be included in the European Union’s so-called taxonomy. „We have to recognize different needs in different member states,“ Beer said Wednesday evening at an event hosted by Table.Media and the Centrum für Europäische Politik (cep). There is a lot of interest in bridging technologies such as natural gas, she said, adding that France and several Eastern European states also rely on nuclear power. The classification of nuclear energy and gas as bridging technologies is „ultimately the magic word“.
