		<description><![CDATA[The European Commission has done well in securing some – though not nearly enough - money to support renewables and CCS from the European economic recovery plan and from auctioning permits under the EU’s emissions trading scheme. By comparison, EU countries paid out €3 billion in national coal subsidies in 2008 alone. All OECD countries together give $400 billion every year in subsidies to fossil fuels, compared with $45 billion to nuclear and $27 billion to renewables, according to the International Energy Agency.]]></description>

This is good, but must be agreed by EU national governments, some of whom will almost certainly try to extend the deadline.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Low carbon energy sources - renewables, CCS and nuclear - all require public financial support. In the UK, the new government has said that there will be no subsidy for new nuclear power stations. Before the general election, the Conservatives said that there would be no subsidy and the Liberal Democrats remain anti-nuclear. Without financial support, no new nuclear stations will be built. Nor will any renewables or CCS - offshore wind and CCS are, in the view of many, going to be even more expensive than nuclear.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The UK has a new government and the prospects for climate policy are mixed. The promised policies on aviation and coal are stronger than those of the former Labour government. The approach to renewables is similar to that of Labour. However, the approach on nuclear power looks like a recipe for muddle and delay.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week, I have been to Poland to talk at a Demos Europa conference on CCS in that country. Poland has the ninth largest global coal reserves, but does not have significant oil or gas reserves. In 2006, 93% of its electricity came from coal and 91% of its heat, so 58.5% of total energy was from coal. Its economy is growing, despite the recession, and a significant number of existing coal stations will have to close over the next 15 years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Later this week, a new Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych, will be inaugurated. The word "Ukraine" means borderland and, to most outsiders, that is exactly how the country is regarded - The place between the EU and Russia or the place through which Russian gas travels to the EU - unless the Russians turn off the taps, as they did in 2006 and 2009. However, it is more important than that, and not only to Ukrainians.]]></description>
