3 Amendments of Jolanta Emilia HIBNER related to 2011/2034(INI)

Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
2. Underlines the fact that substantial investments need to be made in energy infrastructure in order to achieve our goal for a low carbon economy by 2050; notes that not making these investments would result in much higher costs in terms of environmental deterioration, rising energy prices, increased energy insecurity and dependency, as well as a decrease in employment and welfare. These investments could come from both private and public sources, whereas revenues from a Financial Transaction Tax (FTT), a green/carbon tax and from the auctioning of allowances of the revised ETS could be used to bridge the funding gap and to boost investments, for instance to adapt our energy grids to the requirements of renewable energies;deleted
