Fantasy economics
One of the most important recent ‘discoveries’ in economics is not about either growth or jobs. It is about people. We have discovered that we are not actually the logical, cool, and selfish people that economic models often assume we

Slower than certainly possible: developments in Energy Roadmap and Energy Efficiency Directive
A low carbon society is achievable. This was the message given many times over at coinciding workshops of the European Environmental and Sustainable Development Advisory Councils (EEAC), and the Coalition of Energy Savings on 4 October 2011. Not only can

The Future of Europe’s Energy Infrastructure: Permits, Grids, Renewables, Nuclear
Energy infrastructure is a fundamental requirement for the production and supply of energy, which is the linchpin of our economies and societies. But with increasing demand, the necessity of reducing greenhouse gasses, falling reserves of traditional forms of fuel, price

Poland’s energy and environment chameleon shows his true colours
The Polish Minister for the Environment, Andrzej Kraszewski, has been sending some very mixed messages. Poland begins its first 6 month rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union on the 1st of July, and is therefore under increasing

New Briefing Paper – Energy Efficiency and Savings: The under-utilisation of Europe’s energy savings potential
QCEA has published a new briefing paper, the first in a series of Sustainable Energy Security briefing papers. This introductory document outlines why, given the gravity of the inter-related energy and climate crises, the cheapest, fastest and most reliable way

Eco-Design Energy Savings vs. 98 New Nuclear Reactors?
The renewal of the nuclear energy debate has spurred a great deal of discussion, not least as it has provided a pertinent and powerful comparison for those promoting energy efficiency and savings – just how many nuclear power plants could

The Future of Europe’s Energy Infrastructure: Eyes Bigger Than Its Stomach?
QCEA strongly believes that the EU’s commitment to reducing energy consumption should be considered before deciding on the energy infrastructure that will lock us into levels of energy supply based on business-as-usual projections. When a person eats a meal, it

Europe’s enormous potential to de-carbonise, and its lacklustre efforts to date
Two new reports highlight Europe’s enormous potential to de-carbonise by 2050, and its lacklustre efforts to date. While efficiency savings could cut world energy use by 70 percent, only about a third of the action needed to put European Union
