Energy Policy in Flux

France http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/story?id=50971and the UK http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/story?id=51658 have set goals of implementing wind and solar on large scales. This comes after the EU has passed regulations allowing states to invest in technologies that are not yet commercial. Will further concerted effort be possible on climate change? How will recently developed states in Eastern Europe deal with regulations that may inhibit growth in the short term?
