Czech PM calls for "nuclear energy renaissance"

European representatives gathered at the European Energy Forum in Prague on Monday to discuss if a "nuclear energy renaissance" was feasible to cut the European Union's dependence on imported energy. Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek called on France, Finland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Italy and the Baltic countries to support a "nuclear energy renaissance" saying that it was necessary to confront Europe's shortfall. Participants at the forum will discuss a common energy platform and outline a plan on objectives for 2020 as well as commercial cooperation with Russia.
