".
This is a very unbalanced report, despite some positive changes compared with previous reports, in particular in that it admits that fossil energy sources will inevitably run out in the near future – although it makes no mention of high oil prices – and in that it recognises the environmental and social harm associated with the recently deified agrofuels.
However, it then forgets the need for a different set of energy policy priorities geared towards reducing costs for consumers, rationalising consumption in order to reduce it (and not merely through energy efficiency), less polluting public transport and a public policy that is genuinely in the peoples’ interest.
The idea of setting up a Common European Energy Policy is an attempt to find ways of providing greater support for the sector’s private financial groups, overriding the sovereign right of every Member State to set its own energy policies.
It also omits to analyse gaseous biofuels; it fails to stress the need to encourage research into and development of biogas and does not mention the Target 2020 Programme. That is because the main objective of the report is to guarantee ever greater profits, specifically by using the market in greenhouse gas emissions trading."@en1
