Trump publicly talks about considering to pull the US out of NATO. It‘s clearly a wakeup call for Europeans to quickly get organized on security and defence!

The Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung EU | Global Dialogue invites you to an online discussion on the European Commission’s new strategy on small modular reactors (SMRs). At the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Fukushima catastrophe, we will present a new analysis by researchers from the Technical University of Berlin discussing open questions in view of the development of this technology in the EU. The European Commission has given SMRs a prominent place in its 2025 Affordable Energy Action Plan. However, given the long road of SMRs towards potential technology readiness and the assumed high costs of electricity generation, experts question if these projects would ever supply any meaningful quantity of electricity to businesses and consumers. While EU policymakers and US big tech rush towards SMR technology with high expectations, our new analysis summarises the potential, the costs and open questions that should be part of the debate.

Is this the path to getting there? I expect @andriuskubilius.ec.europa.eu will say so!
