Gas and Nuclear included in EU sustainable activities list – McGuinness LONG

Ireland’s EU Commissioner has defended the inclusion of nuclear power and natural gas activities in the EU’s Taxonomy classification system.  

It’s supposed to help investors identify sustainable economic activities that complement the EU’s environmental and climate objectives.

There’s been strong opposition from several quarters to the inclusion of gas and nuclear power in the environmentally sustainable activities list.

Today (Wednesday) Ireland’s EU Commissioner Mairead McGuinness announced details of the new rules and explained why nuclear power and natural gas activities were included in them.
