EU Parliament passes law requiring 42.5% of EU energy to be renewable by 2030
European Union lawmakers gave their final approval on Tuesday to legally binding targets to expand renewable energy faster this decade, a central part of Europe's plans to curb climate change and shift away from fossil fuels.
i wonder how's they came up with 42.5%. why not 41.8% or 43.17%?
I would say it comes from long political negociations. Every .5% is probably full of compromises between every country, political party and lobbies.
Such a waste not supporting nuclear power since decades ago.
Shouldn't have renewable energy targets, but deadlines for shutting down all coal power plants, then oil, and production of fossil fuel vehicles, then a cap on the amount of natural gas that can be used.
