  "account": "Citizens and business leaders in Germany and nine other EU countries support increased investment in renewable energy, according to a survey by the Climate Opinion Research Exchange, an initiative of an international foundation based in Belgium. The survey also found broad support for reducing Europe's dependence on energy imports. Both citizens and business leaders prioritise lower energy costs, reduced dependence on imports, and increased security. Business leaders are particularly positive about the economic benefits of renewable energy, with 74% of German leaders agreeing that investments in renewables boost competitiveness and security. The EU energy ministers will meet in Dublin to discuss energy security.",
