Mar Reguant Discusses Challenges in Expanding Renewable Energy

#renewableenergy #climatechange #europe
In an insightful interview, economist Mar Reguant sheds light on the pressing challenges hindering the global transition to renewable energy despite its economic viability. While technologies like solar and wind power are now cheaper than fossil fuels, Reguant emphasizes the reluctance of governments and companies to fully embrace renewable energy. Drawing inspiration from successful cases she argues that Europe, with its limited fossil fuel resources, should play a pivotal role in showcasing how a green future is not only economical but also a solution to international crises. Reguant also discusses the importance of setting clear red lines, maintaining a robust carbon price, and prioritizing funding for proven decarbonization solutions.

I much rather listen to Didier Sornette from ETH, who wrote a great paper on how Switzerland can be self-sufficient on green energy in summer, but will always be dependent on nuclear or fossil fuels in winter. very eye opening!
