It's not only the fault of Barroso. He has not only said that it will cost us  € 3 a week but also that it will make use less reliance on energy imports. And in the long run that will give us a lot off freedom. But the media and the so call captains of industries focus on only one item: what will it cost us in the short run. There will be a shortage of fossil energy within 50 years (or less). That's mean (at least) in the lifetime of our children. If it will cost us now € 3 it will them cost then a lot more.
