Environmentalists against resuming the nuclear option worldwide

Jornal de Negócios29 August 2026 at 09:58

The Portuguese environmental organizations GEOTA, Quercus and Zero have expressed opposition to the return of nuclear power worldwide, considering that it does not represent a viable solution to energy shortages.

The three organizations are unanimous in advocating that the focus should be on renewable energies, rather than nuclear power, as a way to meet global energy needs.

This position comes in a context of international debate on the future of energy, where nuclear power has been presented by some as an alternative to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and combat climate change.

The environmental associations specifically condemn nuclear power as a response to energy scarcity, maintaining their position that renewable sources are the most sustainable and safe path for the energy future.
