BofA: Investors pour into bonds, pull back from crypto
Investing.com -- Denmark is contemplating lifting its longstanding prohibition on nuclear power, according to Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard. This marks a significant shift in policy for a country that has focused on expanding renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power for decades.
The Danish government is set to evaluate the potential benefits of new nuclear power technologies, with a comprehensive report expected to be completed next year. The minister confirmed this news during an interview with Danish daily Politiken, which was published late on Tuesday.
Aagaard highlighted the ongoing development of new nuclear power technologies, specifically small, modular reactors. However, he stressed the need to understand the implications for Danish society before implementing these technologies.
The minister also clarified that traditional nuclear power technologies, which were banned in Denmark in 1985, would not be making a comeback. He emphasized that the country’s energy policy, which has prioritized solar and wind power for many years, remains unchanged. According to Aagaard, these renewable sources are the most economical and efficient means to achieve a green transition.
