Mitsotakis: Greece Considering Nuclear Energy - Investment in Renewables Continues

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, at the nuclear energy conference in Paris, stated that Greece is considering including nuclear energy in its energy mix, despite not being a nuclear energy-producing country. He emphasized that the rejection of nuclear energy by Europe is a strategic mistake and welcomed France's investment in nuclear power. Greece has invested in renewable energy sources but recognizes the need for diversification. Mr. Mitsotakis proposed an objective dialogue on nuclear energy, based on scientific research and European expertise, and mentioned the potential role of nuclear energy in reducing carbon dioxide emissions in shipping.
