@Sustainable2050 Hi Kees, I'm in Australia, how do you see the energy crisis in Europe develop?
I've read some articles saying that there's a turn towards renewables, and others saying that there's a fall back on coal.
Policy makers always tend to look for easy solutions, it would be a shame not to see this as an opportunity to do better
@Sustainable2050 thankyou
@DougD You're welcome, Doug!
@DougD Compensating people for high energy bills takes a lot of political attention. Plans are being made to further accelerate renewables but that takes time. People taking energy efficiency measures, but not a real chase by governments yet. Some temporary fallback to coal in electricity.
