As the world moves beyond fossil fuels, clean technologies will shape new economic and energy systems. To assess the relative positions of the United States and European Union, we must evaluate both deployment and manufacturing. The EU leads the US on deployment, being home to more wind turbines, solar panels, hydrogen electrolysers, batteries and electric vehicles. Meanwhile, China has deployed more than the combined sum of the EU and US.

The return of President Trump is set to profoundly reshape US climate and energy policy, with far-reaching repercussions internationally. The European Union’s strategy for dealing with these repercussions should have three underpinnings: global climate action, energy policy and competitiveness, and clean-tech investment and trade. Fortunately for the EU, this approach largely coincides with its own strategic interests.

Over the last five years, one of the mantras of the European Green Deal has been that the climate transition should be just, or it will not happen. This is true. Decarbonisation will affect households differently: increasingly tight climate regulations will be a heavy burden for low-income and even middle-income households, for which renovating a property or buying an electric car could require investment of about a year’s income.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie sits down with Bruegel's Ben McWilliams and Rhodium's Senior Analyst Marie Tamba to talk about the solar energy transition, and how better information on investment and deployment can lead to better policy. Data trends in the EU and the U.S. offer insights into where clean energy is ramping up and what steps will help going forward.
