Top EU official Margrethe Vestager name-checked wind, solar and hydrogen as forms of renewable energy that should get funding from the European Investment Bank, which she hopes to lead after stepping down from her role as Europe’s top antitrust enforcer.But the Danish politician made no mention of nuclear energy in an interview with the Center for Global Development, being published on Tuesday — and seen by POLITICO prior to publication — an omission that’s likely to be noted in Paris where officials are leaning toward backing a rival candidate for the EIB job. Asked what kind of energy forms a future EIB chief should support, Vestager — who is on unpaid leave from the Commission while she campaigns for the EIB job — told the Washington-based non-profit: “We have all the known technologies of solar, wind and water.
