Reuters: Chancellor Angela Merkel reaffirmed her target to bring one million electric cars on to German roads by the end of the decade, despite evidence of dwindling consumer interest. "You have a chancellor who believes in electromobility," she told a conference to promote electric car technology, less than 24 hours after the collapse of an Israeli electric car company. Fewer than 3,000 electric cars were sold in Germany last year out of a total market that exceeded 3 million. The German auto industry...

Ed Davey says UK will oppose EU renewable energy target
2013-05-26 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Financial Times: The UK will push for the EU to adopt a legally binding target to cut its collective greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 50 per cent by 2030, it emerged on Saturday. But it will not back what it believes would be an inflexible and unnecessary renewable energy goal for the same year. The energy secretary, Ed Davey, said Britain wanted the EU, which is now working to extend its 2020 climate targets to 2030, to unilaterally agree to a legally binding 40 per cent cut in emissions from 1990 levels...

Britain calls for EU target to halve emissions by 2030

Independent: Britain has challenged Europe to sign up to an ambitious target of cutting carbon emissions by 50 per cent by 2030. Ed Davey, the Climate Change Secretary, called on fellow EU governments to sign up to the target as part of a global climate agreement in 2015. The proposal marks a shift in the UK's position after internal coalition wrangling over climate change. The British government wants the EU to agree to 40 per cent reduction of carbon emissions from 1990 levels, with an "ambition" for...

Britain resists EU bid to set new target on renewable energy
2013-05-25 22:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The government will oppose attempts to set a new renewable energy target within the EU, in a move that could put at risk tens of billions of pounds of green investment and tens of thousands of new jobs. But in a sop to environment campaigners, ministers will agree to tough greenhouse gas emissions targets by 2030. The question of a renewable energy target for 2030 to take over from the current goal, of generating 20% of energy in the EU from renewable sources by 2020 has been a vexed issue...
