A European Commission report says that with current trends the EU will not double the share of electricity from renewables, as it had previously pledged. The Communication on the Community Strategy and Action Plan on Renewable Energy Sources, the first review of the EU's 1997 renewables strategy, published on 16 February, has concluded that nations will not meet their combined goal of 12% of energy supply to come from renewables by 2010 without slowing energy demand.
