According to Bloomberg, political decisions now define the clean or dirty future. At similar costs! http://www.asunim.co/index.php/en/em-media-centre/en-news/185-turkey-at-energy-crossroads

According to their findings, political decision makers are handing out $ 550 billion fossil fuel subsidies per year. These subsidies are stalling decentralized clean energy progress and are four time those received by renewables. Meanwhile, worldwide communities are struggling under the strain of rising energy demand, climate change and the daily inefficiencies in this outdated system. Another interesting and worrying aspect highlighted in the report is how the demolition of nearly 200 nuclear plants that will reach the end of their life cycle over the coming years will cost $ 100 billion or more. There is precious little experience or financial capacity for this with the individual power plant operating companies, leading us to the conclusion that once again, public funds and taxpayer’s money will be allocated to this process instead of driving the necessary change. http://www.asunim.co/index.php/en/em-media-centre/en-news/184-the-iea-has-just-published-its-annual-report
