EU Commission wants the real deal
Europe can withstand American and Chinese subsidies for green tech. John Springford and Sander Tordoir from the Centre for European Reform caution the EU not to go too far in its ambitions to out-subsidise the US or China in fear of losing out in green tech. They argue that for most of the green technologies, the geograhical distance to the US and China will impose such a cost on trade that it will be profitable to produce in Europe anyway.
