How is this
Such policy will mean, in the Commission words, "the EU taking global leadership in catalyzing a new industrial revolution", defining the following lines of action:
  • Energy efficiency;
  • raising the share of renewable energy in the energy mix;
  • reinforcing solidarity among Member States;
  • a renewed focus on nuclear safety and security;
  • determined efforts for the EU to "speak with one voice" with its international partners
Compatible with neo-liberalism?

  • efficiency: subsidies to companies to invest in energy saving devices

  • more renewables: subsidies to companies to invest in renewables

  • solidarity: give new players access to infrastructure built by incumbents or governments at their marginal cost of use

  • nuclear safety: make government bear the costs of decommissioning, waste treatment and catastrophic risk

  • speak with one voice: get the EU to buy gas cheaper from Russia and hand it out on the market cheap.

Pure neoliberalism all of it.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
