People crying out for practical solutions to climate crisis, letter says Union leaders from across Europe have urged policymakers to choose nuclear power as they discuss how to accelerate the path to net zero at the UN Cop26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland.

The leaders of 12 major unions representing workers in the nuclear sector said in an open letter that Cop26 is a chance for policymakers to choose emission-free energy, good jobs and sustainable prosperity – and that means choosing nuclear power as part of a balanced energy system.

They said too often, climate activism and discourse has ignored nuclear and muted the voice of the people who rely on it. “People are crying out for practical solutions to the climate crisis, ones that offer real hope in a green economy,” they wrote in the letter.

They said the nuclear issue is the subject of a political debate, but there is no scientific debate because every serious expert analysis confirms that the world needs nuclear to hit net zero.
