Europeans need to urgently increase the solar power that their economies generate or face a reckoning with climate change they could regret.
Those are the stark choices outlined by top European Union scientists whose advice will be published by Elsevier BV. They see massive new solar investments not only for the bloc to meet its 2030 climate goals, but also to spur employment and development of automated-manufacturing technologies. Their proposal got a potential lift when the EU made climate-neutrality a key pillar of a historic plan to spur economic growth in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
By 2030, Europeans need to boost installed solar-power capacity to at least 455 gigawatts from about 133 gigawatts, the researchers said.
