EU energy chief says moving away from nuclear power was a mistake

Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, said the European Union made a "strategic mistake" by reducing its reliance on nuclear power. She made the comments while discussing the bloc's energy policy.

Germany has reportedly rejected von der Leyen's position on nuclear energy. She also stated that the EU would be making a historic error if it returned to using Russian fossil fuels because of the war in the Middle East.
