So I guess all those bureaucrats will be giving up their limousines, right?

[mohammedbuhassan]

Why does it sound like he’s making fun of the plan!!? 😂

[stelltame]

Are all those wind blades recyclable??? Where do you bury them when Seabirds and storms break them? Are solar panels carcinogenic after 20 years? Recyclable??? sounds like a great money maker taxing the people for false solutions that clearly are not green!!!

[blixten]

When was this posted? The New Green Deal doesn't include a lot of these things at present, to my knowledge.

[CAPHENIA]

Great things never come from comfort zones!

The goal is simple. The European Union has understood three things. The enormous debt that the United States is contracting by extracting its own oil with very expensive techniques such as fracking, to consume only US oil, the instability of territories (Arabs, Russia, etc.) in the face of oil businesses and dependence on polluting energies in developing countries (like China or India). What the EU intends is to create a source of clean and cheap energy (in production, not investment) to save costs both in industry and in the use of machinery (vehicles, factories, and other things) and thus have zero energy dependence on other countries. In my (positive) opinion this can create an industrial revolution in the short term that can make Europe a huge world power. Of course, given the panorama, the first enemy we are going to have is the United States, since they do not want a plan of such magnitude, and Donald Trump knows it ...the future is not petrol, and almost all the world nations depends on it so in my point of view is very clever to be the first ones going towards in a new direction acording to the production of energies

Honestly speaking, beyond the triumphalism, this is frightening. Changes nobody has tried yet will kill business and skills that have brought us this far.

[GloryanHeadman]

now tell me what tech does EU have to make that plan true? or the point is in TAXation for Russian Oil/Gas, China goods or cheap India medicine? I also didn't hear: affordable\cheap energy for homes. This is insane!

[tsvetankunchev]

How are they going to sanction the volcano emitting 90% of the CO2?

[annagoral]

In this EU Green Deal, I sense Orwell's '1984'...

[fgfanta]

You wish to earn a slice of that 1 trillion Euros, good Sir, but we may get much more than you bargained for. Environmentalism seems poised to replace equity and social justice as the noble ideal for the next Soviet-like disaster.

[Happy]

Worldwide communism and eating bugs in place of beef😳

[artursbondars]

Wonderfull, but I think we should accelerate this process even further and faster, because if global climate and natural habitats will go to drain, then even the Europe's green deal would not save us.

[friendoftellus]

This should not only be the ambition of the Eu, but of the entire world !

[petervast]

Hello new poverty for all! Where is all that money coming from?

[rationalwho]

By counting the total CO2 emissions historically, we see that USA, EU and China are responsible for 25%, 22% and 13% of global emissions accordingly. There is no reason to blame developing countries for their emissions, as they are right now doing, what we have already done. It is a shared resposibility among developed countries to invest in a greener future. We have the resources, highly educated workforces and the technology to develop low-cost, low-carbon solutions and spread them around the world. In this way poor countries won't become as fossil fuel dependent as we were and still are right now. As low-carbon technology becomes cheaper and more available, developing countries will get their fair share of development in a green way, not in the way we got it.. If the developed countries decide to seriously tackle climate change, the rest of the world will follow because they will have no other better choise..

[nelybhatti]

At least there's somebody doing something I'm a little happier that the world I grow up in maybe will be better

[marcore]

in Italy it is not possible, we have Salvini and Meloni, unfortunately

[gggarden]

this is crazy, EU is doomed economically
