Opposition from England and the Czech Republic to 500 might cost renewable thousand jobs in Europe
About 500 000 jobs are at risk in Europe, if the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic (in the photo, the capital Prague) continue to oppose the European plan to reduce CO2 emissions, based on the development of renewable energy. The plan extends to 2030.Both British as Czechs aim to choose how they can reduce their carbon emissions â€" the idea of the European Union, however, focuses on the overall increase in the proportion of renewable energy.So, United Kingdom and Czech Republic intend to, for example, ensuring the reduction of CO2 emissions through nuclear energy. These negotiations take place since last spring, when European countries began to consider the objectives of combating climate change to 2030 â€" the current plan expires in 2020.Instead of investing in renewable, United Kingdom and the Czech Republic want an overall objective of reducing CO2 emissions â€" up to 50% compared to 1990 figures. "We need a technological neutral approach, taking into account how each country will achieve their objectives ... establish an objective of renewable energies at European Union level is inflexible and unnecessary," said British Secretary of State for energy and climate, Ed Davey.However, a preliminary report developed by the European Commission concluded that include targets for energy efficiency and renewable energy to Europe will help create about 568 thousand jobs in the old continent until 2030.Germany, Denmark, Austria and Finland were already satisfied with these new objectives â€" United Kingdom and Czech Republic are blocking a consensus.Photo: Moyan_Brenn / Creative Commons
