INTRODUCTION

The electricity network showcases
the cooperative nature of the
American continent.
The entire network includes two
major and three minor electrical
networks in alternating current
(AC).
Eastern and Western
interconnections are major systems,
each of which extends from the
southern border of the United
States to Canada. Minor
interconnections are Texas, Alaska
and Quebec but operate on the
same frequency synchronized with
respect to the primary systems. In
rare cases of a network failure, the
energy can be diverted from one
interconnected through direct
current systems (DC). The energy
trade, including petroleum products
and electricity, is allowed by free
trade parameters. The regulatory
framework allows energy policies of
the US and Canada to work in
unison.
The documents on which the EU is
based on the other hand, are
counterproductive in this regard
and act to curb this type of unit.
The EU's governing body does not
have the power to force the
integration of network
interconnections without a
modification of the treaties. In this
regard, the European Union may
simply support the programs that
will then be accepted and then
implemented by individual states.
The EU tends to be very focused on
the objectives and strategy rather
than on concrete actions. David
Buchan of the Oxford Institute for
Energy Studies, said it is
embarrassing for Europe that the
United States, although they have
no climate policy are decreasing
their carbon intensity while in
Europe, despite the political
climate, the intensity carbon is
increasing (Buchan, 2014).
The European theoretical thinking is
opposed to political action over the
Atlantic. Not only the action and
initiative have a soft spot for the
European Union, but we must also
think about the coordination
between the 28 states. The action
sometimes manifests itself in the
individual states, but it is not always
in the direction prescribed by EU
policy.
In many cases the European states
refuse to work together and prefer
to pursue the same goal, but with
independent paths. As exemplified
in the previous sections, the EU as a
whole is geographically, politically
and economically fractured and this
penalizes the development of a true
internal energy market. This is the
image of the emergence of a
disunion energy.
