Katowice - 15 maja 2014 - Elektrownie jądrowe mogą być filarem polityki energetycznej UE: to bezemisyjne źródła energii zwiększające bezpieczeństwo energetyczne.

Na świecie jest realizowanych wiele projektów jądrowych: od Azji, poprzez Afrykę aż do innych państw Europy. Elektrownie jądrowe są jednym z głównych źródeł energii elektrycznej w UE: w 2011 roku wyprodukowano z nich 27,6 proc. energii w UE. Odpowiednio pokierowany i przygotowany potencjał polskich przedsiębiorstw może być wykorzystany prze realizacji projektów jądrowych w Polsce i nie tylko. - wskazywano w trakcie panelu "Energetyka atomowa w UE", jaki odbył się w trakcie Europejskiego Kongresu Gospodarczego w Katowicach.

Prof. Andrzej Strupczewski: Jeżeli nas stać na czystą energię, czyli słońce, wiatr, energia jądrowa - to najtańsza jest energia jądrowa
Warszawa - 29 kwietnia 2014 - "Doświadczenie wykazuje, że w krajach mających elektrownie jądrowe energia elektryczna jest tania, a w krajach, które wyrzekły się energetyki jądrowej, droga. Dla przykładu w Niemczech i Danii obywatele płacą 26-28 eurocentów za kilowatogodzinę, a w Francji płacą 12-13 eurocentów. I to jest różnica między krajem rozsądnie podchodzącym do swej energetyki a krajem kierującym się względami politycznymi." - stwierdził jednoznacznie prof. dr inż. Andrzej Strupczewski, Wiceprezes Stowarzyszenia Ekologów na Rzecz Energii Nuklearnej SEREN, przewodniczący Komisji Bezpieczeństwa Jądrowego w Narodowym Centrum Badań Jądrowych, ekspert ds. bezpieczeństwa jądrowego Komisji Europejskiej i Międzynarodowej Agencji Energii Atomowej (MAEA).

The 2nd Africa - Central Europe Economic Cooperation Forum on 8 May 2014 in Katowice, Poland
The interest expressed in the 1st Africa - Central Europe Economic Cooperation Forum in 2013 makes us think optimistically about this year's 2nd Forum, which will take place on 8 May 2014 in Katowice, during the 6th European Economic Congress. Africa is one of the fastest growing regions of the world - no one calls this fact into question any more. Moreover, a conviction has started to drill into the public awareness that it is Africa that the attention of global investors and exporters will be focused on in the forthcoming decades. The European Economic Congress also shares this interest by including the topic of economic relations with Africa in its agenda.
