Most EU leaders back reviving nuclear power

The overwhelming majority of leaders at last week’s European Union summit, including Tony Blair, strongly backed a revival of nuclear power as the answer to Europe’s growing dependence on overseas supplies and to combat climate change.

…Andris Piebalgs, EU energy commissioner, who also favours the use of clean coal, carbon sequestration and biomass, indicated that a critical answer to Europe’s long-term supply needs was to increase the market for liquefied natural gas (LNG), which could be imported from several countries. He suggested that LNG should provide 20%-25% of European energy within the next 25 years.
