The current climate emergency has highlighted a confrontation between two opposing energy models. While some sectors advocate for coal and nuclear power, experts warn that this strategy accelerates global warming. The proposed extension of the Almaraz plant until June 2030 has raised safety concerns for facilities that have already exceeded their operational lifespan.
“"Maintaining the agreed closure schedule in November 2027 is the most coherent and economical path for citizens."
Technical reports suggest that extending these plants could cost taxpayers nearly 3.9 billion euros. Furthermore, it is estimated that such a decision would result in a loss of over 21 billion euros in renewable energy investments by 2033, slowing down European Union decarbonization goals.
