German Power Policy – Solution or Illusion?<br />
Do you think that the media and ill-informed politicians often dominate the debate in the matter of energy policy?<br />
Isn’t it time that the views of industry practitioners who understand the real issues and challenges be heard?<br />
The Joint Plenary Panel discussion for <strong>POWER</strong>-<strong>GEN</strong> <strong>Europe</strong>, Renewable Energy World <strong>Europe</strong> and Nuclear Power <strong>Europe</strong> is the chance for industry<br />
practitioners to voice their views about current policies and the future direction of the power sector. With its provocative title, this debate will a spark<br />
wider discussion about the practical implications of Germany’s direction in power generation technology choices and whether these policies will be<br />
seen as a beacon for other <strong>Europe</strong>an countries or ultimately out-of-step.<br />
