There’s a lot in these articles, and a lot to read between the lines in these articles from the New York Times

From E.U. Plan to Curb Carbon Dioxide Would Favor Solar Power
“The European Commission is expected to introduce a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that directs the largest slices of €50 billion available for research and development to solar power and capturing and burying emissions from coal plants.”
“But the plan also signals the need for a reordering of the bloc’s priorities by requiring governments to spend significantly greater sums of money on clean energy even as the world emerges from a deep financial crisis.”
- 16 Billion Euros for Solar.
- 13 Billion Euros for emissions capture and storage.
- 11 billion Euros for enhanced urban efficiency.
- 7 billion Euros for improving nuclear energy – produce less radioactive waste, minimize proliferation.
Between The Lines Concept 2: Euros 13 Billion for Emissions Capture and Storage – that’s a lot of money. Assuming they can make it work – Carbon Capture and Storage has never been done, and other coal waste storage is expensive and difficult.
