The proposal was made by the European Commission and the lawmakers present at the European Parliament meeting in Strasbourg, France, voted in favor of accepting it, with 328 votes backing the proposal and 278 against it. This decision was much to the dismay of detractors who argue that these projects are not environmentally friendly.
Detractors argue that gas and nuclear projects are not truly environmentally friendly and do not support Europe's ambitious goals to cut carbon emissions by 55 percent by 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
