Jan Blomgren: Europe Is Spending Billions on the Wrong Things

Professor Jan Blomgren joins us to talk about Europe’s Green Deal and why he believes the comparison with the Apollo project doesn’t hold up. Why was the US able to set a clear goal and let engineers figure out how to achieve it – while European politicians are increasingly choosing the technologies themselves? And what happens when billions are poured into projects that may never have been worth funding in the first place? We talk about the Green Deal, hydrogen, innovation, the US, AI and Europe’s chances of competing in the future. Enjoy!
