Ljubljana/Bruselj, 10. januar 2007 – Evropska komisija je danes objavila težko pričakovani sveženj energetskih predpisov, ki naj bi začrtal evropsko energetsko podobo v prihodnosti. Po mnenju Fokus društva za sonaraven razvoj vsebina svežnja Evropi ne bo zagotavila trajnostne energetske prihodnosti. Evropska komisija predlaga nadaljno podporo fosilni in jedrski energiji, namesto da bi začrtala prihodnost, ki bi temeljila na energetski učinkovitosti in obnovljivih virih energije.

Ljubljana, 8.1.2007 – Nekaj okoljskih organizacij se je ostro odzvalo na svarila ministra Vizjaka, da brez nove nuklearke ni dolgoročne oskrbe z elektriko v Sloveniji. Po njihovem mnenju je zavajati državljane z eno možnostjo – gradnjo nove nuklearke – neodgovorno dejanje, še posebej v luči marginaliziranih ukrepov za učinkovito rabo energije.
