Emmanuel Macron wants to implement his campaign promises. Among them, the development of six new generation EPRs. A bill was debated on Wednesday, November 2, in the Council of Ministers, on the question. “In a word: speed up. This is the objective of this bill presented this morning at the Élysée”reports journalist Julien Nény, live in front of the Élysée for the 12/13 of France 3, Wednesday. “The idea is to drastically simplify administrative procedures. For example, by allowing the start of work before the end of the public inquiry”adds the journalist.

In the midst of the energy crisis and in search of more autonomy, the President of the Republic and his ministers are also working on renewables. “For the government, accelerating is not just about nuclear power, it is also about renewables, with another bill that is now being considered by the Senate. The objective is to go much faster since, by way of comparison, to deploy wind turbines at sea, it takes more than ten years in France, whereas in other countries such as Belgium or the United Kingdom, c is twice as long”concludes Julien Nény.
