As far as electricity is concerned,
technological progress coupled
with lower costs for renewables
brings closer the prospect of
clean energy production.
But parties and industry
representatives must still reach

the role of nuclear power,
a schedule for the phaseout of
fossil fuels, and the role of home
generation.
Meanwhile, clean transportation
presents a challenge, with electric
cars still representing a negligible
share of vehicles on Spanish
roads.
Between 1990 and 2015,
transportation emissions grew by
41%.
If nothing is done, the
government forecasts an increase
of another 15% by 2030. For the
