"At a time when the debate on CO
emissions has become unavoidable and in which maintaining the current energy dependency on oil and its derivatives is unsustainable, it is important to find alternative energy sources that are more environmentally friendly and equally reliable. It is also crucial that Europe find innovative ways of promoting growth that is sustainable and ‘greener’, in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy. However, at a time of serious economic and financial crisis, not only do the political conditions for increased public investment – necessary for the objective of cutting emissions – not exist, but it is also unreasonable to intend companies already weakened by the economic situation to deal with objectives that are too ambitious and that impose increased operational problems on them.
Green growth that does not harm competitiveness requires sustainable and consistent energy policy, an emissions licence trading market that works properly, and recognition of any national projects that contribute to EU objectives. With regard to this, the important work that the energy company Energias de Portugal, S.A. has been undertaking in the area of innovation and promotion of renewable energy sources should be remembered."@en1
