all of those projects would be listed as green energy projects. under this new, really these new rulings that have been put forward by the commission. however, not everybody, as you would imagine, is particularly happy about this. heading into wednesday, we'd heard from austria, sweden, denmark in the netherlands, who were all against putting gas on that particular list. of saying that it counted as a, a green energy investment environmental groups also very much against this. they say it's moving the goal posts and amounts to little more than green washing. the complimentary delegated act tabled by the european commission. sacrifices the scientific integrity of the taxonomy on the altar of fossil gas and nuclear lobbies . firstly, labeling fossil gases at sustainable activity is completely incompatible with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius and with the use 2030 climate targets. secondly, even if ignoring the risks of catastrophic nuclear accidents, it is evident that nuclear does not apply to these key principles as it poses signifi

i think the green transition is right to follow. but what we have to be in mind is that all measures we tank by politicians within the european union in the european states is to increase the use of electric electricity by electrons, a tronic vehicles, whatever. and that means that we will need more. busy energy and all these grids we've set up and all the on cattle that has been located does not fit into this general situation. we need, if you take the forecasts of the international energy agency until 2050 roughly the same amount of fossil fuels than currently. and in that respect, we have to understand that in order to have a proper transition, we need the old economy for a certain time. we need fossil fuels, we need nuclear energy in order to set up the allocation for capital for it. for this green transition, i think that's a point that is not being understood. we need a pragmatic approach. and what we hear from those who are criticizing the current state of affairs of those were rather following ideologies. rather than pragmat

so it is green that's only green in one phase. we want to make sure it's green throughout his life cycle. another problem is that depending on the type of solar cell lends manufacturer, hazardous materials like lads, cadmium, oh, arsenic can end up in the modules. but increasingly, there also alternatives. and one of the key components of finding they for alternatives is being able to perform what they call an alternative chemical assessment. and luckily right now we have the capacity to do this. so yes, the chemicals needed to make solar cells are problematic. there really needs to be pressure on the industry to come up with alternatives and make the switch once they find them. and finally, let's take a look at where all these panels go to die. solar panels last around 30 years, often even longer. but at some point, they reached the end of their life. as of now, the waste heap of dis, cadapenal's is still relatively low. about 250000 metric tons plots. by 2050, it's expected to grow up to 78000000 metric tons. that would be more

what is a green investment, and this, i'm very sorry, is not green because it goes against the principal. now right now, most you households are more worried about how much their energy costs are rising. not how it is generated. when do you expect renewables to provide cheap, plentiful, and reliable energy? while actually talking about cost, the the least expensive energy which you can bring online today is in fact wind and solar look. for example. in portugal we have sola for less than one and a half cents per kilowatt hour, even in germany, which is not a major for the provider. we have price of about $4.00 to $0.05 and cook, or whereas nuclear, it comes with 12 cents one hour and gas. if you buy gas not even having built a power plant, you're already have to pay and brush your cheaper it's cheaper. but is there enough of it? can it bridge that gap that we need to have reliable sources? sources of energy right now? this is true, but will we have reliable sources of energy by building more power plant for gas, which is as we just found out board expenses, we should reserve our precious

and amongst a little more than green washing. the complimentary delegated act table by the european commission sacrifices the scientific integrity of the taxonomy on the altar of fossil gas and nuclear lobbies. firstly, labeling fossil gas is a sustainable activity is completely incompatible with limiting global warming to $1.00 degrees celsius and with the use 2030 climate targets. secondly, even if ignoring the risks of catastrophic nuclear accidents, it is evident that nuclear does not apply to these key principles is it poses significant environmental and social hazards at all stages of its supply chain. while it's still a few hoops to for this to jump through before it could come into force. in fact, there was some questions, put the money out. and again, as the commissioner about potential legal challenges from so member states no confirmation or not other yet, but it does helps to go before the lead is of the 27 members of the european union . once it gets passed there, which it looks like it will, it goes to the european

for this green transition, i think that's a point that is not being understood. we need a pragmatic approach. and what we hear from those, we're criticizing the current state of affairs. of those we're rather following ideologies, rather than pragmatic approaches. folk are helmeyer and that is where we li, big round up for. and i do give our website a look though, for all the latest developments. and what was a busy news. they, this is what happened. i make no, certainly no borders and is like teeth and you face is a merge. we don't have authority, we don't have a vaccine. whole world needs to be ready. people are just, you know, come with we can do.
