Now, 10% renewables in transport? How exactly is that spelled out in the directives? On the face of it, that would require (1) a much more than 10% share of electric public transport in overall transport, and/or (2) a rather significant share of RE in the generation of that electricity. Now, in some countries, hydro takes a major part of railway electricity generation, don't know about the whole EU though. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
10% renewables in transport? How exactly is that spelled out in the directives?
an agreement that up to almost a third of the EU's 10 percent goal would be met not through biofuels but through electric cars and trains
That's a quote from a report on last-minute negotiations between the EP and the Commission a year ago. So two-thirds of the 10% are still supposed to come from biofuels.
