France ready to join forces with fossil fuel promoters, in order to put nuclear at the heart of European environment policy.

To put nuclear power at the heart of European environmental policy, France
is ready to join forces with countries which promote fossil fuels.

European taxonomy is a register classifying the different energies with a more or
less green label. Obtaining it may in particular make it possible to
benefit from grants or funding.

For its part, France is pushing for nuclear
power to be recognized by the European Commission as sustainable energy. To
achieve its ends, it is not excluded that it ally with other countries
which, for their part, support natural gas – fossil energy – as shown by a
note revealed by the newspaper Context relayed by many NGOs.
