Given enough time and pain, some countries get smarter.
EU member states are no longer to receive specific guidelines for the development of renewable energy. The stated aim of increasing the share of green energy across the EU to up to 27 percent will hold. But how seriously countries tackle this project will no longer be regulated within the plan. As of 2020 at the latest -- when the current commitment to further increase the share of green energy expires -- climate protection in the EU will apparently be pursued on a voluntary basis....With such a policy, the European Union is seriously jeopardizing its global climate leadership role.
And then, there's Canada...
If MP Peter Braid is like every other politician I've ever known (and I have no reason to believe he's somehow different), he'll say whatever he thinks the electorate wants to hear. His tune will change overnight if he sniffs the wind and figures a new strategy of tearing down windmills/solar panels and fracking for oil under the parliament buildings will keep him in power, paycheque and pension.
ReplyDeleteMy, why so cynical, SS? You've only met a handful of politicians - surely less than a few hundred.
DeleteMust be looming power outages and acute money shortages for this to happen in euroland.
ReplyDeleteToo little, too late for Whoreup. You can start burning all the coal you want, bit you can't undo the harm that generations of uselessness have caused. Canada is going to sink too. The people are just too stupid.
