Hello and welcome to the highlights of our latest EUR news debate asking how to Electrify Europe after the EU elections in June Europe will need to oversee a radical roll out of clean energy if it wants to meet its carbon emissions goals so how is it going to be

Done if I look at where we stand as the EU I think our climate Ambitions are real and I think one of the major issues should be in the next term how can we accelerate how can we create funds Investments start co-investing with industry to make sure that not when will

We uh whether we will meet the climate targets but more when will we meet them are there genuine concerns about populist parties that don’t like many of the uh well this call for acceleration and speed that Muhammad’s talking about I don’t think there are big risks there

Because a lot of the even if the the geopolitics has changed a bit uh and the motivations might change in emphasis a lot of the things we actually have on the ground ground and in terms of implementation are going to deliver in terms of security and resilience and in

Terms of international competition so on so they’re actually hitting the right buttons for whatever type of parliament comes out we have had a very difficult crisis right now I think it is an obvious element that Investments have been um on standby in a moment in which we need the acceleration of Renewables

Standby on investments that doesn’t sound particularly good yeah does it at the height of the crisis we really saw when Investments nose dive uh because there was so much uncertainty with what national governments were going to do about soaring electricity prices right we’re seeing things pick up now

Investors are there that what they need is a an environment in which they are confident with their Investments the risk that we do run at the moment with the elections that are coming up that some of those green Deal Laws some of the rules that have

Been set down will get revised I believe that we have started a movement also with industry that some of the goals will be met whether there is a progressive or conservative majority in this house why because it’s called te Technology Innovation development you know once certain Technologies get below a certain

Cost then people will invest in them because they will make money not because they care about climate or about energy transition it’s just an opportunity and and I think that we have right now the real proof of the cost that it produces when we you are not developing our own

Autonomous energy sources we have had a crisis in which you were talking about what happens when there’s no wind and no sun we have experienced what happens when there’s no gas yes for all the reasons that colleagues have said there isn’t simply a matter of going back what

Going back to something as mythical as as as cheap secure fossil fuels just isn’t on the cards anymore it was a fascinating conversation and you can watch the full debate and further highlights on euronews.com
