Solar power is the fastest way to reduce Europe's dependency on Russian gas

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : Compared to other renewable energy technologies, solar power is cost-efficient, and construction can take less than two years.
65% : Increased use of renewable energy, combined with technological solutions available to ensure greater flexibility, are cornerstones of the energy transition.
64% : Solar power will be the world's largest energy source, producing more than 21,000 TWh, equivalent to 80 percent of the world's power demand today.
64% : Electrification based on renewable power, and energy efficiency are key pillars," says Christian Rynning-Tønnesen.
63% : For many countries, transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy also increases their energy self-sufficiency.
63% : According to the Low Emissions Scenario, renewable energy will account for almost 80 percent of the world's total power generation in 2050.
62% : The expansion of solar power in Europe is growing rapidly due to increased renewable energy ambitions and the need to reduce dependence on Russian gas.
61% :Solar power is seen as the winner in the energy transition.
59% : Along with wind power, solar power is asserted as the crucial renewable technology to reduce the European Union's dependence on Russian gas and cut emissions.
59% : Wind and solar power will largely outcompete fossil competitors and become the dominant electricity sources, while energy storage solutions, such as batteries, will be essential to keep balance in the more intermittent system.
59% : Hydropower and hydrogen will continue to grow in importance as emissions-free and flexible resources, while increasingly interconnected energy systems also provide needed flexibility in the renewable-dominated energy system of the future.
