  • Nuclear energy is crucial for ensuring energy stability and sovereignty until renewable energy provides a constant supply.
  • Continuing with the closure of nuclear plants in Spain would foster greater dependence on gas from the United States and Algeria.
  • The government's refusal to extend the lifespan of nuclear plants is counterproductive.
  • The closure of the Almaraz nuclear plant could cause a major disruption in Madrid, which gets 15% of its energy from it.
  • A collaborative approach between the government and companies is required to keep nuclear plants running, by reducing their tax burden to make them profitable.

Conclusion: The French model, which has a lower tax burden on electricity generated by nuclear power, could be a good example to follow.
