Attempts to meet targets for carbon emissions, energy security and affordable energy for vulnerable households are all on a trajectory to failure.
Thorium: How to save Europe's nuclear revival

Policy brief by Stephen Tindale, 15 June 2011

The EU should continue to support nuclear power. Existing technologies should generally be used. But thorium liquid fuel reactors – which cannot melt down – should be an exception.
Carbon capture and storage: EU advancing, but not fast enough

TGAE report, Report by Stephen Tindale, 03 June 2011

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an essential low-carbon bridge technology, to be used in the several decades it will take before Europe can be totally reliant on renewable energy.
Delivering energy savings and efficiency

Policy brief by Stephen Tindale, 19 January 2011

The EU should not waste its time arguing about whether to make its energy efficiency targets binding. Instead, it should focus on practical steps to improve energy efficiency.
The EU should be much bolder on energy efficiency

Insight by Stephen Tindale, 12 October 2010

Should the Nabucco pipeline project be shelved?

Policy brief by Katinka Barysch, 05 May 2010

Nabucco - a pipeline to bring Caspian and perhaps Middle Eastern gas to Europe - is the flagship project of the EU's fledgling energy diplomacy. Nabucco would add to the EU's energy security, strengthen its neighbourhood policies and improve relations with Turkey.
