USA, Germany and UK's response to the nuclear energy issue

After an impulsive discussion during the second meeting of CDM committee, delegates from USA, Germany and United Kingdom voiced their concerns about the recent proposals. They called a press conference to share with media their views on the possible results of the agreements with the certain wordings.

The USA supports the inclusion of nuclear energy in the CDM. However, they admit that 25% is definitely too much. The US-Americans support inclusion of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects in the CDM.

The German delegate reminds that they have agreed on the partnership with France to support inclusion of nuclear power. This agreement influences their present position. However, he would like to highlight that 25% is also too much in their opinion. It would cause immediate investments in developing countries affecting their energy sector structure. It would also significantly increase the number of nuclear plants, which is now only a small share. Germany thinks that this will shift away really renewable energies. It also adds that there should be more governmental representaives in CDM group.

Having agreed with the previous statements made by USA and Germany, United Kingdom (Fedor Durnev) reminds that in developing countries with a week infrastructure, an installation of the nuclear projects will create a huge danger to global safety. It will soon cause risks comparable to climate change.
