Re: bah (none / 1)
I'm thinking like that because:

  1. If the US is considered a laggard then I wondered whether the EU was also starting to lag (behind its own commitments) despite the history of a more positive regulatory environment and the 20/30% commitment to reducing carbon emissions

  2. I would like to see the EU continuing to lead in such progressive industries (as opposed to armaments, oil, exotic financial engineering etc.)

  3. Whether we like it or not we are in competition with the US, China etc. for jobs and sustainable living standards/state services.

  4. The sustainable electricity generation and distribution infrastructure is an example, par excellence, of the benefits of cross-border cooperation in finance, R&D, regulation, market access, production and distribution - and thus an important driver of EU cooperation and integration.

  5. What's wrong with having another EU "success story" to counter the neo-lib narrative?
