France's Energy Mix, 80% Nuclear, Makes Reaching 2050 Climate Neutrality Cheaper; Demanding the Same from Us Undermines Our Economy's Competitiveness

- The Prime Minister has fulfilled the government's position agreed upon over recent months, and now let's tell the truth about what happened last week at the European Council: firstly, our view on raising ambitions regarding the 2050 climate neutrality target was shared by several other member states, and the conclusions adopted by everyone state that the energy transformation must take into account the geographical, territorial diversity, and the readiness and location of individual states. France's energy mix is 80% based on nuclear power, and in that context, reaching the 2050 neutrality target is significantly less costly. Therefore, demanding a similar goal from us means lowering the competitiveness of our economy - said Jadwiga Emilewicz, Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology, in FpF.
