The Commission is already giving its support to the production of wind, solar and biomass energy, small hydroelectric stations and geothermal energy, that is all sources of renewable energy, with the exception of large hydraulic power stations, which we feel we should not support because they have sufficient options available to them. Furthermore, they have some extremely negative aspects from an environmental point of view, as constructing a dam always involves flooding a valley.
Kommissionen støtter allerede energiproduktion ved hjælp af vind, sol, biomasse, små vandkraftværker, jordvarme, altså alle de vedvarende energikilder bortset fra de store vandkraftværker, som vi ikke mener, at det er nødvendigt at støtte, fordi de har muligheder nok, og fordi de desuden giver anledning til nogle meget negative aspekter set ud fra et miljømæssigt synspunkt, for bygning af en dæmning er altid ensbetydende med oversvømmelse af en dal.
