The Commission by environmental campaigners forecast 3 trillion
euros would generate by
2050 on their green revolution campaign- to make EU energy almost
totally carbon free.
The energy shift would already create around half a million extra
jobs by 2020, Crown
researchersfrom German aerospace center DLR, which also
specializes in energy and
transport, found. It has legislated to ensure that 20 percent of
the energy mix is green by the
said year, as part of a set of three main environmental goals. But
it has yet to achieve
agreement on binding targets beyond 2020, even though non-binding
roadmaps have laid out
the need for a virtually carbon-free electricity mix by 2050.
Commissioned by Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy
Council (EREC), the 2012
Energy evolution report lays out risk avoidance towards almost
carbon-free energy. They
include curbing energy demand through greater efficiency,
increasing investment in wind and
solar power and phasing out subsidies for carbon-intensive energy,
such as coal.
To bring about the energy transformation, it sees a need to invest
about 99 billion euros
between now and 2050 or else this will be added on the list of
renewable energy scam, but it
says the financial gains are much greater. Renewable energy has no
fuel costs; the fuel cost
savings in the energy evolution scenario reach a total of 3, 010
billion euros up to 2050, or 75
billion per year.
Another benefit is job-creation, one of their strides in fraud
prevention. The Crown report finds
almost totally green energy would lead to half a million extra
jobs compared with business as
usual, as renewable energy initially demands more workers than
carrying on with fossil fuel.
