Discuss YOUR ideas with Europe’s leaders
Debating Europe is the platform where YOU can debate the issues you care about with European politicians and experts. In this space we will place the SHAPE ENERGY debates related to the subject that concerns us : Energy efficiency, competitive, safe and low-carbon energy supply, smart technologies, reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector: mobility and transport.
Are energy companies charging too much?
Join the debate! Should bills be capped? Or would that discourage much-needed investment and slow the transition to green energy?
What would it take for you to give up your car?
Should we all be using our cars less? Or are we focusing too much on decarbonising the transport sector and not enough about other, more carbon-intensive sectors?
Could ‘Smart Houses’ help drive down your energy bill?
Is smart technology the answer? Or is greater public awareness needed? Do we really need a computer to turn our lights off for us? Join the debate!
Should all cars be electric by 2025? Join the debate
When will electric cars become the norm? In Europe, we’re still a long way from that point. Sales of electric cars represented just 1.2 % of all new cars sold in the European Union in 2015.
How do we get people to consume less energy?
Global demand for energy will increase by almost 50% by the year 2040. Some of that demand is expected to be met by renewables, but a greater portion is likely to come from fossil fuels; oil, coal, and natural gas.
How can we ensure cheap, clean energy for Europe?
How important is it that energy stays cheap? We had a comment from Bódis, who believes that securing cheap energy is vital to keeping Europe competitive.
