\"\"Det verkar som om fler har uppm\u00e4rksammat betydelsen av s\u00e4ker och tillf\u00f6rlitlig\u00a0energif\u00f6rs\u00f6rjning. EU-kommissionen<\/a> sl\u00e4ppte i dagarna kommunik\u00e9n<\/a> \u201dEnergy 2020 – A strategy for competitive sustainable and secure energy\u201d <\/em>d\u00e4r man presenterar en antagen 10-\u00e5rsplan med prioriteringar inom energif\u00f6rs\u00f6rjningen av europaomr\u00e5det. <\/em>Den inleds dramatiskt med att betona den enorma roll tillg\u00e5ngen p\u00e5 energi spelar i v\u00e5rt samh\u00e4lle med orden<\/p>\n

The price of failure is too high <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Vidare talar man om behovet av investeringar i energisektorn \u00f6ver de kommande 10 \u00e5ren av i storleksordningen 1000 miljarder euro.\u00a0Att man f\u00f6rutom behovet av omfattande energibesparingar och ut\u00f6kad andel f\u00f6rnyelsebar energi \u00e4ven uttalar behovet av k\u00e4rnkraft \u00e4ven i framtiden \u00e4r lovande.<\/p>\n

The contribution of nuclear energy, which currently generates around one third of EU\u00a0electricity and two thirds of its carbon-free electricity, must be assessed openly and\u00a0objectively. The full provisions of the Euratom Treaty must be applied rigorously, in\u00a0particular in terms of safety. Given the renewed interest in this form of generation in Europe and worldwide, research must be pursued on radioactive waste management technologies and their safe implementation, as well as preparing the longer term future through development of next generation fission systems, for increased sustainability and cogeneration of heat and electricity, and nuclear fusion (ITER).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Att man i en officiell kommunik\u00e9 fr\u00e5n EU-kommissionen talar om fusion som en av framtidens energik\u00e4llor k\u00e4nns v\u00e4ldigt lovande, men ocks\u00e5 att man uppm\u00e4rksammar m\u00f6jligheten att utnyttja spillv\u00e4rmen fr\u00e5n k\u00e4rnkraften till exempelvis fj\u00e4rrv\u00e4rme eller processindustrin ist\u00e4llet f\u00f6r att kasta bort 2\/3 av den producerade energin. Det kanske finns hopp f\u00f6r framtiden \u00e4nd\u00e5\u2026<\/p>\n
