GENEVA - A group of Swiss politicians has formed Stop Blackouts, which will launch a petition seeking a revision to the country's energy policy to guarantee adequate power supplies and keep nuclear as part of the mix.

Under Swiss direct democracy, its constitution can be changed via referendum if 100,000 signatures are collected within 18 months, although an outcome takes years. "Until recently, Switzerland had safe and virtually CO2-free electricity production: the environmentally and climate-friendly combination of hydro and nuclear power is to be abandoned for no reason at all," the website of Stop Blackouts said.

The change of constitution sought by the group would render Bern officially responsible for guaranteeing energy supply, using"any form of climate-friendly electricity generation".
