Europe must embrace 'low-carbon economy'
The European Union on Wednesday announced plans to lower energy consumption, develop renewable sources such as wind power and biofuels and increase research into cutting carbon emissions from fuels already in use, particularly coal. The ambitious proposals seek to deter growing dependence on oil and gas imports and curb the emissions blamed for climate change.
But the EU left the contentious issue of nuclear power up to each state to decide.EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said Europe must embrace a low-carbon economy and lead the world into a "post-industrial revolution."
