Ursula von der Leyen said the European Union was "completely dependent" on expensive and volatile fossil fuel imports. She has announced new ambitions to harmonize nuclear regulations and roll out smaller reactors.
Nuclear plants are expensive if you have to build a new one, Germany had them but closed them due to ecologists campaigns. And it’s not possible to rely only on wind and solar, you need to burn gas, petrol, coal or, if you don’t want to emit CO2, use nuclear energy. Otherwise you’ll risk having blackouts like the one that happened in Spain last year
