Are people ready for EU’s energy revolution?

Contrary to the Commission’s own press release entitlde “Europeans firmly behind research into new energy technologies”, the Eurobarometer survey’s findings are not very encouraging for European policymakers. The Commission will attempt on 10 January 2007 to convince citizens that nothing less than “a new industrial revolution” is needed to deal with the double challenge of climate change and increasing energy demand and supply problems.

The survey shows clearly that energy policy is not a priority for citizens and that they are particularly aware of the need for change in their personal lifestyles.
