"Mr President, the explanatory statement for this proposal says its objectives are secure, affordable and sustainable energy. Yet for many years the EU has followed policies which have exactly the opposite effect. Germany, with the largest renewables investment, now uses increasing volumes of lignite. In the UK we are planning to use diesel generation as back-up.
The highly respected Economist magazine currently runs a front—page story entitled ‘Clean energy’s dirty secret’. I recommend it to colleagues. It says we have created regulatory and subsidy structures that militate against energy infrastructure investment and threaten security of supply. I quote: ‘Green energy is eating its own tail’. Yet this proposal today amounts to little more than bureaucratic paper pushing. The explanatory statement concludes by saying the EU is torn apart by migratory and eurozone crises and desperately needs a success. Indeed it does, but this report will not deliver that success."@en1
