Nuclear energy is an #important and #emotional topic. In some European countries its more controversial than others. Denmark is one of them. All #nuclear power is banned in Denmark, including researching new technologies.

There are three elements, according to Co-President of @VoltDanmark @krichterCPH that Denmark needs to collaborate on with Europe:

1️⃣Denmark must increase research into modern nuclear technology in order to increase Europe's understanding;

2/4

2️⃣Europe's energy networks must be improved to accommodate additional weather-dependent energy sources, such as solar and wind, and linkages to the energy networks of Spain and Portugal must be strengthened;

3/4

3️⃣Denmark must reserve its 1985 law prohibiting the development of nuclear power reactors on Danish territory.

Two redactions:

1.‘Reserve’ is supposed to be: ‘reverse’ the 1985 law

2.Research is allowed, & not banned - as previously stated. There's just not much public funding available. Why invest in research when they’ve banned the building of nuclear plants altogether?
