Cömert stated that he was expecting the population of the world to become more than 9 billion and said, “The world’s population which was 2.5 billion 50 years ago is now nearly 9 billion. This means that the energy need of the world increases day by day. However, a serious investment is needed in order to supply energy. Petrol and natural gas take the lead in energy. The condition of the petroleum reserves is evident. This means the reemerge of the nuclear energy.”
