"This report starts with a real problem – the Union’s energy dependence – but it comes to the wrong conclusion. The enemy is not Russia, whatever our opinion of Puttin, nor Algeria, whether or not we approve of their armed forces. Climate change, the fossil fuel burden and a way of life that involves high energy consumption, those are our adversaries – internal and external. We shall not beat them by focusing on security issues belonging to the Cold War era.
The obsession with security undermines cooperation and leads to an ‘anything goes’ internal policy: from nuclear fusion to reliance on biofuels. Only yesterday
revealed Paul Crutzen’s conclusions: a litre of agrofuel can contribute up to twice as much to the greenhouse effect as the equivalent amount of fossil fuel.
In conclusion I should like to paraphrase José Sócrates: It would perhaps be a good idea to start listening to the scientists and economists once again rather than to couch geostrategists."@en1
