Leading environment journalist, Sonja van Renssen, is joined by **Richard Cowart**, Director of the European programmes at the **Regulatory Assistance Project** (RAP), to discuss **renewables policy.**

**Since the economic crisis began the climate agenda has struggle in the EU**, but renewables have always had lots of other arguments for them – jobs and growth, for example. Richard Cowart**enumerates three lessons from which the EU could learn from the US** regarding renewables policy.

*“Right now we don’t send that price signal at all, we give the same renewables support wherever you are located.”*
