Cernavoda nuke plant violates EU competition laws

Bankwatch's international energy coordinator Ionut Apostol explains how recent moves by the Government of Romania to support the development of nuclear power at the Cernavoda nuclear power plant site are in violation of European Union competition regulations.

other details need to be considered too, e.g. external costs & subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear power. Having those in mind reveals that the market is in fact distorted and we would indeed like to see all subsidies removed and all external costs (social and environmental) provided for.

after all, who would prefer to cope with damages of uranium mining, processing, use and radioactive waste management than with those related to production and operation of e.g. wind power plants.

draga ionut.lasa ca e mai bine asa daca nu sunt fonduri de "tratare" a deseurilor radioactive.

oricum,romania se descurca cu ce are,nu ne mai trebe niciun reactor in plus,si lacurile si raurile de langa Mayak sunt pline deja.

iti inteleg efortul :P

Yes, and just because the EU is insane in their stupid green ideology which produces more expensive power with the only beneficiaries being the managers of the green certificate brokerage houses and so on, everybody should be insane. The way I see it, all the aid given by the EU or any state to the creation of solar/water/wind plants fit the same bill, don't they? Or if it's ideologically supported, it's no the same distortion of competition on the market? lol.
