Call for a global end to nuclear power

To achieve these goals we demand an initiative to terminate the EURATOM agreement, ending the privileged position of nuclear power in the EU

World Council For Renewable Energy Demands A Global Ban On New Nuclear Power, Voxy.co 30 April 11,  “……The WCRE demands from the Parliaments and Governments to:

– initiate a broad introduction of renewable energies in a consequent manner and to increase their use

– empower the International Renewable Energy Agency, IRENA with adequate financial and human resources to enable their vision for a world where renewable energy is accessible in all countries and becomes the primary source of energy

– underline the end of the atomic power pathway through the cancellation of the remaining privileges for nuclear power

– counter the threat of a nuclear renaissance in Europe and globally

To achieve these goals we demand an initiative to terminate the EURATOM agreement, ending the privileged position of nuclear power in the EU. We also urge to re-direct the budget for atomic waste disposal and nuclear fission and fusion for research and development in the field of renewable energies, not least concerning energy efficiency and energy storage technologies.

Renewables are indigenous energies. They create many new economic incentives: for a revitalization of agriculture by the mobilization of biomass for energy, for new energy conversion industries and for the whole building construction sector towards the future of solar buildings.

Renewable energies are the only realistic alternative to nuclear power. Their potential is sufficient to make it possible to renounce on the use of nuclear power as well as fossil energy use and to cover the increasing worldwide energy need to fight poverty.  http://www.voxy.co.nz/national/world-council-renewable-energy-demands-global-ban-new-nuclear-power/5/88945
