The fossil part of generation depends on energy policy. It can stay around 70% in the so-called <b>Jazz</b> scenario where countries rather independently "improvise" but it can also decrease to around 40% in the <b>Symphony</b> scenario if countries work "orchestrated" for more climate friendly policy. Carbon dioxide emissions, 32 Gt/a in 2012, will increase to 46 Gt/a in Jazz but decrease to 26 Gt/a in Symphony. Accordingly, until 2040 the renewable part of generation will stay at about 20% in Jazz but increase to about 45% in Symphony. </p><p>An EU survey conducted on climate and energy consumption in 2022 found that 63% of people in the European Union want energy costs to be dependent on use, with the greatest consumers paying more.
