France To Reduce Reliance On Nuclear Power

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday July 23, 2015 @12:19PM from the reducing-the-radiation dept.

AmiMoJo writes: French lawmakers have approved a bill to reduce the country's reliance on nuclear power from 75% to 50% by 2025. The policy was one of President Francois Hollande's campaign pledges. The legislation also includes a target of reducing the country's greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030, compared to the level in 1990. The new law aims to eventually halve France's energy consumption by 2050 from the 2012 level. The ambitious goal came in the lead-up to the COP 21 climate change conference in Paris later this year. France will chair the meeting.

We could do that in the US if it wasn't for the Republicans. They keep using more and more energy in their drive to destroy Earth. They hate the Earth nearly as much as they hate us. They are so full of hate. So full. They are the reason we can't save the planet. Can't save it.
