The BBC is reporting that The European Commission has announced an outline of its energy and climate policy goals until 2030.

From the article….

“The Commissioners want a binding target to reduce carbon emissions by 40% from 1990 levels.

Renewables will need to provide 27% of EU energy by 2030, but

However, the article also says that a number of countries and climate activist groups think those numbers are too low, and that the EU needs to be more ambitious.
