The European Union has powerful resources at its disposal to tackle
global warming; together, the countries of the EU are global
leaders in the use of renewables. Why, then, has there been such
slow progress in actually enforcing energy policy changes? Energy
Transformation reveals the bitter political battles fought inside
EU institutions over the past fifteen years between the architects
of energy transition - those who develop solutions against the
grave impetus of global warming - and the saboteurs, who infiltrate
the highest European levels of decision-making to slow down the
system transformation. Claude Turmes, a prominent MEP on
environmental issues, explores a field marked equally by progress
and setbacks, from the enthusiasm of the early 2000s to the relapse
of the post-2008 economic crisis, with each progressive proposal
facing corporate lobbying and high-stakes pressure. It is vital -
now more than ever - to understand what we, as industrialised
nations, should do. This is a fight not only for the economy, but
for democracy and the future of the planet. With the
ever-accelerating impact of global warming causing irreversible
damage, the time to act is now.
