Enough Empty Political Consensus On Energy Efficiency, Says Mep

摘要

Green MEP and rapporteur on the renewables directive in the European Parliament, Claude Turmes has slammed the Commission's energy package, saying it was full of "empty political consensus on energy efficiency".rn"We are all in favour of energy efficiency but we won't reach the 20 per cent target unless we have the political courage to kick some actors," he said at a workshop on eco-innovation in the Parliament on 12 November.rn"The oil and gas industry hate energy efficiency even more than they hate renewables because it means changes to their business models," he said.
