Amendments (3)
Amendment 12 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. WelcomNotes the Commission’s ambition to reach 340 GW of offshore renewable energy capacity by 2050 as a key element for the successful decarbonisation of transport and tourism; considers the massive expansion of offshore renewable energy generation, storage and distribution, and its full connection and integration into the energy grid, to represent an indispensable precondition for the widespread uptake of electric mobility and clfor diversifying the energy supply; considers nuclear energy as a possible 'green' energy source that can further diversify the European renewable transport fuels, such as hydrogen and ammonia in particular; calls, therefore, on the Member States to swiftly and massively step up their investments in offshore renewable energy and to seize, in particular, the opportunity provided by the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF)rgy supply and that still needs to be further researched to adequately assess its place in this regarde Green Deal;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Underlines the opportunitiesNotes the dangers to marine and seabed life that offshore renewable energy can offerposes to coastal tourism regions, both by increasing the energy-related sustainability of tourist stays, and by balancing seasonal economic effects, providing stable and predictable jobs and growth in local renewabl; calls on the Commission to set up impact assessments for offshore renewable energy in order to research the damage done to marine life and seabed by construction, operation and maintenance of offshore windustries and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) all year roun turbines; underlines the importance of the "Do no harm" principle in this regard;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17 a (new)
Paragraph 17 a (new)
17a. whereas wind energy, both onshore and offshore, requires a full fossil-fuel backup and major adjustments to the electricity grid, it is an uneconomic investment which, moreover, is detrimental to biodiversity; whereas wind energy does not contribute to a stable energy system; calls on Member States to get to work on building nuclear power plants and to provide the necessary incentives in that regard; calls on the Commission to accord nuclear energy the most favourable regime possible in the taxonomy regulation, as nuclear energy is a proven and safe means of generating cheap and clean electricity
