If the European Union is to get to a point where it is independent of all fossil fuel. It needs to invest in the production of renewable energy sources and it needs to feed into the production process itself.
As I have philosophized earlier, this has to go hand in hand with a keen eye on the nature where these production systems are.
Yet, making electricity out of solar cells and wind mills is now as cheap as making it with fossil fuels. The fact of the matter however is, that it has to be cheaper, because the conversion of the energy is not, as is, very efficient. So we loose a lot of energy when we convert electricity to hydrogen and then hydrogen to e fuels.
Theoretically it could be a one to one conversion rate, but it will require lot of research and development to get to that point, where the equation is more to the good side of e fuels than fossil fuels.
It will take time, but when the system is up and running, each improvement will make the system cheaper. Making Europe a major nett exporter of fuels.
G-d bless the will to make efficient, green solutions to our energy needs.
