A series of articles. The nuclear meltdown in Fukushima in 2011 has given renewed momentum to the anti-nuclear power movement across Europe. However, the degree of momentum varies greatly from country to country, and considering the geographically widespread consequences of a nuclear accident, it hardly appears optimal for one country to ban nuclear power while multiple nuclear power plants are still active in neighbouring countries. Even beyond the nuclear power dilemma, the economic and political externalities associated with energy policy are difficult to overstate. The contributions to this Forum look into the benefits expected from a comprehensivecommon energy policy for Europe and the problems which establishing such a policy would involve. + Christian Egenhofer and Arno Behrens: The Future of EU Energy Policy after Fukushima + Richard S.J. Tol: The Impact of EU Enviromental Policy on the Energy Sector + Michel Berthélemy and François Lévêque: Harmonising Nuclear Safety Regulation in the EU: Which Priority? + Jaap C. Jansen: In the Wake of Fukushima, Should our Electricity become Almost Completely Renewable and Completely Non-Nuclear? |
