The European Commission has officially launched what promises to be a contentious debate over greenhouse gas reduction and renewable energy targets for 2030. In releasing its "green paper" on a 2030 framework for climate and energy policies Wednesday, the commission kicked off a three-month process during which it will gather feedback from member states, industry players, environmentalists and others as it seeks to extend climate change efforts beyond the current binding 2020 targets. The European Union sees the 2030 framework as an interim step along the path to its ambitious low-carbon energy "road map" for 2050, which envisions reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 80-95 percent less than 1990 baseline levels.
