10: New Energies for Europe – Between Cooperation and Competition
Supported by Siemens
Europe is a pioneer in the field of renewable energies. Where does Europe stand today, and which decisions have to be made to allow Europe to achieve its ambitious energy policy aims? Which balance of community and independence is required to move further towards the use of renewable energy and, at the same time, reinforce the economic positions of the European states in global competition? With which challenges will Europe be faced in its position between Asian growth markets and the US, which have been reinvigorated by new natural gas deposits?
