Mats Nilsson asks if we're moving towards renewables too quickly - a podcast by Florence School of Regulation

Professor Mats Nilsson, an economist at Luleå University of Technology.
Here he talks to Nicholas Barrett about the transition to renewable energy and Europe's "extreme focus on renewables".

"There is a good intention behind the support for renewables, but we have to remember that the support for renewables was for a sustainability goal,
but that has become mixed with the co2 goal."

"The manufacturing industry is now starting to leave Europe as a protest against the rising electricity costs.
That comes as a shock, I think, to policy makers and industry members alike."

"We don't have to continue, we can take a deep breath, we can phase out the renewable support we have."
