America loves a winner!

The European Union is on the verge of rolling back much of its climate agenda, even as the United States is moving full speed ahead.

Europe will likely not require member states to expand renewable energy production beyond 2020, reports the German-based EU-Info News.

“It is becoming obvious that Europe’s unilateral climate policy, the whole green agenda of the last 20 years, has turned into an unmitigated fiasco,” Dr. Benny Peiser, director of the UK-based Global Warming Policy Foundation, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Even EU leaders are beginning to accept reality.”

The EU’s climate chief Connie Connie Hedegaard and EU environment commissioner Janez Potocnik remain “isolated in their push for a new target to promote green energy,” according to EU-Info News. Not even Germany’s energy commissioner Günther Oettinger supports expanding renewable energy production.

The European experience with renewable energy has been fraught with high costs and mixed results. In Germany, renewable energy policies are driving up electricity costs, leading one of the country’s foremost newspapers to declare that electricity had become a “luxury good”.

I don't think having a wishy-washy energy policy is in any way the same as "retreating on global warming". That's not the reason for what they are doing.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

He posted almost the exact same thing, with virtually the exact same title, some time ago. It was debunked then; why bother again (aside from the simple fact that it will have totally zero impact, WHATEVER anyone responds)?

Mixed results is a nice way of putting " a complete and total failure ".

Niki, you can play ostrich all you want, but I'm not going away.

What I posted was the title and lead to the article, as it appears. Note too the DATE of the article... 12:34 PM 01/14/2014

Your claim THAT I post this " some time ago " does not hold water. If there are others who have come to the conclusion that the quest for GREEN energy ,as a cure for all of mankind's problems, is Quixotic in nature, then don't blame me. Nor the other messengers.

In fact, you may want to wake the hell up.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

Well, if at first you don't succeed, give the fuck up. Renewable energy is like.... haaaard. *snif*

Seems to be the troll's message. As worthwhile as ever.

Keep trying and trying and wasting govt ( the people's ) money , no matter what ?

Insanity. Doing the same thing, over and over again, and expecting different results.

It's funny how the Leftist mind " works " .

Storybook - the EU is giving up. It's no one's " message " but the EU's.

Yeah, Mark...airplanes were expensive and didn't work so good at first either, nor did electricity, the telephone, automobiles, computers....

We should just have just given up and stayed in the stone age. Actually, if we'd done that, we wouldn't be worried about the state of the planet now, would we?

There were reasons for airplanes and electricity.

There IS no economically viable reason for 'green' energy, on a large commercial scale.

Govt backed ventures( Solyndra ) are failing here and abroad.

If anyone wants us to go BACK to the stone age, it's the AGW / GREEN gang themselves.

Oh, the irony.

Well the EU did think that drastically reducing government spending would help them out of the recession...that didn't work so well.

I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

Decades of over spending can't be reversed in a few years. Sorry.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
