The Prime Minister stepped before cameras to address recent protests against nuclear power: “Eflad is on the brink of a turning point in history. It is in the hands of the people, and therefore our government, to transition to green energies. We can only succeed in doing that by using technologies that have proven themselves over time to bridge the time until we can fully switch to renewable energy sources. It is in our best interest to continue using nuclear power to ensure energy independence until we can transition to green forms of energy. I say to the protesters: We have heard you, but you are not ready to have a conversation yet. That is what your actions portray to us. You might think that it is the solution, but in politics as in life, there are no solutions, only trade-offs. I ask you: would you rather have more coal and fossil power plants but no nuclear, or nuclear but no fossil? Think about that before you start another protest. Thank you!”
