The EC has Proposed that Nuclear Energy and Natural Gas be Classified as “Green”
The European Commission proposed on Wednesday that nuclear energy and natural gas be classified as sustainable for the period of transition to a carbon-neutral economy.
"The reason for the inclusion of gas and nuclear energy is that we firmly believe that these energy sources are necessary for the transition," said EU Financial Services Commissioner Mairead McGuinness.
