The EU's unilateral climate policy is absurd: first consumers are forced to pay ever increasing subsidies for costly wind and solar energy; secondly they are asked to subsidise nuclear energy too; then, thirdly, they are forced to pay increasingly uneconomic

more expensive by
adding a unilateral Emissions Trading Scheme.
Because natural gas is a considerably
more expensive fuel than
