Changes

The people of Europe – and the world in much broader context – play an essential role for the entirety of the energy market. They are the sole consumers of energy, be it directly with individual energy expenses and travel or indirectly through their source of income being dependent on energy in industry or services alike. In the last few decades, both the price volatility of fuel and [[Sustainability|sustainability ]] concerns have raised awareness of this topic and charged debate on the future of energy. Consequently, society exerts substantial influence on the way energy is used and researched by means of political representation. This ubiquitous dependence makes a wide support necessary for any shift in Europe’s strategy.
