An article published by the well-known British publication The Guardian on Wednesday, February 11, praises Romania for managing to decouple its energy sector and the industrial sector from the pollution that characterized them under communism while registering massive economic growth.
Over the past 30 years, Romania has recorded a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and economic growth faster than the EU average, but it was helped by a combination of factors, such as the collapse of industry after 1989 and the development of nuclear and renewable energy, according to the author of the piece, Ajit Niranjan.
