On Wednesday, the leadership of the European Union (EU) declared that some gas and nuclear power are, in fact, Green energy, a move that will likely stir controversy in the U.S.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

JUST IN \u2013 EU Parliament declares nuclear power and gas as “green” energy.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) July 6, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Under a move labeled the EU Taxonomy, today\u2019s vote reclassified the energy sources as both green and sustainable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Claude Tourme, Luxembourg\u2019s Minister of Energy, expressed his disapproval of the decision on Twitter, saying, \u201cI deeply regret that today\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

@Europarl_EN<\/span><\/a>\u00a0failed to object to the delegated act under the\u00a0<\/span>#EUTaxonomy<\/span><\/a>, allowing\u00a0<\/span>#gas<\/span><\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0<\/span>#nuclear<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to be part of the EU sustainable finance policy.\u201d He stated that the country would seek legal action against the decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I deeply regret that today @Europarl_EN<\/a> failed to object to the delegated act under the #EUTaxonomy<\/a>, allowing #gas<\/a> & #nuclear<\/a> to be part of the EU sustainable finance policy. & will press legal charges and the Court will rule about its legality #CJEU<\/a> @lgewessler<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/J0cNHw4Fsg<\/a><\/p>\n

RePlanet<\/span><\/a>, a climate change activist group in Europe, praised the move by the EU\u2019s leadership, saying, \u201cScience wins! \u2026 This is a huge win for science and for climate action. Well done to all those who campaigned for this outcome. Together we can build a better future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Science wins!
EU Parliament has rejected a motion to exclude nuclear energy from the #EUTaxonomy<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This is a huge win for science and for climate action. <\/p>\n

In February, the EU said that nuclear and natural gas energy plants could be counted as \u201cgreen energy\u201d under controversial EU plans related to climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n

The European Commission says it has decided that both types of energy can classify as \u201csustainable investments\u201d if they meet specific targets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The move divided the EU and has been fiercely opposed by some members.<\/span><\/p>\n

Austria\u2019s chancellor responded by saying, \u201cnuclear power is neither green nor sustainable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot understand the decision of the EU,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Karl Nehammer said<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luxembourg, Spain, and many others shared their disapproval at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

EU officials stressed that the change does not require any state or company to invest in gas or nuclear.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is instead a highly technical set of rules, called the \u201cEU Taxonomy,\u201d about what classifies as \u201csustainable\u201d so that private investors can decide where to put funds, the commission said.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also regulates what can be said to be environmentally friendly so that climate-conscious investors can make informed decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The list is supposed to recognize green projects that make a \u201csubstantial\u201d contribution to at least one of the EU\u2019s environmental goals \u201cwhile not significantly harming any\u201d of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commission officials have pointed to the strict limits on what qualifies. For example, natural gas generation is under a strict CO2 emissions limit and requires switching to low-carbon gas by 2035. Nuclear power, meanwhile, must have clear plans and funding for dealing with nuclear waste.<\/span><\/p>\n
