France is to build six nuclear reactors and 50 offshore wind farms as part of moves to “take back control of its energy and industrial destiny”, President Emmanuel Macron has said.
President Macron unveiled the multi-billion euro plans yesterday as part of a drive to ‘take back control of France’s energy destiny’ and improve renewable energy productionMr Macron was speaking in Belfort (Territoire-de-Belfort, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), yesterday (Thursday, February 10), on the subject of achieving zero-carbon energy by 2050.
He presented more on France’s “Stratégie nationale bas-carbone (National low carbon strategy)” plan, which involves increased investment into renewable energy sources – including wind farms and solar – and a greater reliance on nuclear energy.
The president said: "If we want to respect our climate commitments…reduce our dependence on foreign countries for our energy needs, ensure the industrial development of our country…and control the energy bills of the French people, we have a duty to engage in structural and historic projects to prepare for the future.” The Connexion - link - Hannah Thompson - link - more like this (France) - link - more like this - link
