Nowak describes what the sector needs to see happen to fully unleash its potential, while he and Michaela debate the European Commission’s revised F-Gas directive.\r\n\r\nEnjoy the show.\r\n\r\nIf you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:\r\nThomas Nowak: https://twitter.com/ThomasNowakEU\r\nMichaela Holl: https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1\r\nJan Rosenow: https://twitter.com/janrosenow\r\nDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT\r\n@WattMattersPod: https://twitter.com/WattMattersPod\r\nFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdk\r\n\r\nListen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.
