the current EU. By 1952, economist and theorists had developed a number of plans to promote the economic integration and strength of the European collective (Palmer and Colton, 1969). Robert
Schuyman and Jean Monnet developed a plan to unify six of the industrial countries in the region, France, Italy, West Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, under the European Coal
and Steel Community (ECSC) (Palmer and Colton, 1969). The ECSC was created to bring the natural resources of these countries together, pooling coal and steel resources to improve production and
trade (Palmer and Colton, 1969). At this stage there is little environmental concern other that the creation of a stable and peaceful Europe. The initial policies were considering the
commercial need of energy and the continued supply. Since the development of the European Unions five-year research Frameworks in the 1970s energy has been the primary concern. The initial motivation
behind the research into energy as a joint proposal stemmed from the oil crisis in 1973 and the fears of the economic shock that may continue if inefficient energy patterns
continued (Guzetti, 1995). By 1978, 70% of the research budget was spent on energy research (Guzetti, 1995). This level of research spending has been declining, the level was only 50%
of the budget in Framework Programme I that took place between 1984-7, which amounted to $1.7 billion, by Framework Programme V which took place between 1998 - 2002 this was
only 14% at $2.1 billion (Europa, 2002). The policies may be seen in the way the resech and development has changed, with the increasing awareness of environmental issues in
the 1990s with increasing attention on non nuclear energy such as fossil fuels and renewable sources. It is renewable sources that have gained the most attention. In the white paper
