New research reveals real costs of electricity in Europe

A research study funded by the EU shows that the cost of electricity production would rise significantly if external costs such as damage to the environment and to human health were taken into account. The study estimates these external costs at about 1-2% of the EU's GDP, not including the cost of global warming.
