Energy Issues in the EU and Taiwan
Energy Issues in the EU and Taiwan
Energy presents the EU and Taiwan with serious political and existential challenges. The EU and Taiwan have to cope with trade-offs between secure energy supplies, environmental costs and benefits, and global competition for resources in an environment in which domestic public opinion tends to favour or reject some energy sources (such as nuclear energy) over others (such as renewables). Both Taiwan and Europe compete with mainland China for access to secure energy supplies and both have strong domestic constituencies concerned about climate change. Profound readjustments to political priorities on energy are likely to follow, as tough - and potentially expensive - choices regarding energy supplies will have to be made in a more contested and competitive global environment.
