Two Greenpeace activists this evening unfurled a banner reading “Stop Nuclear Madness – Energy Revolution Now“ during the opening ceremony of the World Energy Congress attended by Romano Prodi, Italian Prime Minister. Greenpeace is critical of the recent energy blueprint for tackling climate change published by the World Energy Council, the organisers of the triennial congress. The blueprint sees greenhouse gas emissions peaking by as late as 2030 before decreasing. It also proposes an expansion in nuclear power.
