There are smarter ways to reduce emissions than just raising costs for industry and consumers. But it would be equally senseless to push for less ambitious policies, thereby stalling progress in the fight against climate change, without being sure that doing so would improve European competitiveness.
以激进的气候政策为名任由欧洲的能源账单超标当然是不明智的。有明智的方法来减少排放而不是仅仅增加企业和消费者的成本。但施行不那么激进的政策同样毫无意义，那只会阻碍对抗气候变化的进程，并且也无法保证这样做能提高欧洲的竞争力。
