Renewable energy is blamed for jeopardising Europe's energy security this winter, a new study has found. EurActiv France reports.
The French multinational company Cap Gemini warned in their European Observatory of Energy Markets that energy security in Europe was under threat and that the region could soon be exposed to massive power outages during the winter, due to a lack of production capacity. They blame wind turbines.
In the event of a storm in the North Sea, for example, other energy sources become practically useless or their prices could even fall below zero.
In 2012, energy prices spikes during rush hours decreased on average and negative spikes were observed for more than 70 hours in Europe.

Auch wenn bei diesem Thema Machtspiele stattfinden und die Schuld gegenseitig zugewiesen wird - es geht um das Thema Versorgungssicherheit, die durchaus real gefährdet ist. Daher ist es unverzichtbar, dass sich die BürgerInnen und die Gesellschaft insgesamt mit dem möglichen Worst-Case Szenario auseinandersetzen.
