How does France cuts its relatively low CO2 footprint, do they tell the Latvians they cant burn coal?

Adding a carbon tax to equalise all energy prices across the EU could be a way, but I am sure it would not be very equitable.]]> Renewable Energy Targets https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11646&Focus=194177#Comment_194177 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11646&Focus=194177#Comment_194177 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 14:47:44 +0000 Jonti Posted By: SteamyTeaYes, any cap and trade is open to abuse.

But that would only work with full European intergration. Same wages, taxes, etc. no thanks.

I thought energy use was some what related to income , the more you earn ( or money/wealth you have) the more you use.
If so, a x % increase would have a similar effect across the region. ??]]> Renewable Energy Targets https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11646&Focus=194186#Comment_194186 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11646&Focus=194186#Comment_194186 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 15:45:13 +0000 jamesingram
