Europe Falling Short of Renewable Energy Goals for 2010

                                                                                         

Renewable energy seems to growing at break-neck pace throughout the world, and particularly in Europe, but a new report shows the European Union (EU) falling far short of its goal to use renewable energy for 12 of its energy needs by the end of 2010. As of the end of 2006, the EU is at 6.92 gain relative to 2005, but similar gains in the coming years would only get the EU to about 9 renewable energy by 2010. Meanwhile, the EU has set an additional goal of achieving 20 growth in renewable energy in one year, countered by a 0.3 of the growth in 2006. The EU is also struggling with below-normal hydropower production because of drought. All of which suggests that the United States has plenty in common with its European cousins.
