Yannick Jadot: “On nuclear power, I leave Emmanuel Macron dogmatic posture, I prefer reason”

Tribune. The denial in which Emmanuel Macron shows that the dogmatism took the pragmatic pragmatism that he claimed to embody. Ecology becomes the only choice of reason.

No lesson from Flamanville Fiasco – which collectively costs us the equivalent of twice the budget of justice with its ten years of delay, the incidents of the China EPR, of the stagnation Financial of EDF and Framatome, or recent incidents in Penly, Cattenom, Chooz, Civals, Chinon and Bugey who have forced France to import energy and contributed to the explosion of electricity prices. Building six new EPR type reactors, [as the president announced on February 10 in Belfort], it would be the budget of the public hospital.

No one in the government had to report the delay in the renovation of housing and in the development of renewable energies, while we are the only country of the European Union not to have complied with our commitments In this respect.

The President of the Republic exceeds his mandate by planning a large energy project without any certainty on its overall cost, without any solution to get out of the stalemate in which we are on waste management, without any warranty on time. Starting while the climate urgency requires us to act quickly. It makes an irrational bet that commits us to a very long term.

Energy Eréténess

All these years of trials, all these billions spent in a Gabegie, why not put them today in known solutions, mature, some? Why stupid in a totally dependent nuclear energy for the importation of raw materials, sensitive to water stress, now unable to meet the safety requirements? Why have come back our European partners by getting that nuclear power be recognized as so-called green energy and thus ensured its funding? Why deny the meticulous work of experts on the feasibility of a 100% renewable scenario? Why provide a 60% increase in electricity generation when all laws, reports, scientists and the most serious institutes believe that without sobriety, we will never be able to respect our climate commitments? If not by dogmatism.

Emmanuel Macron plays the illusionist because he is in the election campaign. Rather than betting on sobriety and renewable, it condemns France into energy drunkenness and rising energy bills.
