  9. Conclusion • Let’s go for green growth BUT let’s keep in mind that: • Resources allocated to spur job creation in one sector are obtained to the detriment of other economic sectors. • Green stimulus packages will lead to higher energy prices, threatening the competitiveness of electricity intensive companies, that could chose to delocalize their production or in extreme cases could go bankrupt. • The amount of capital locked in for a chosen technology could have been allocated to others that could prove in the near future to be more efficient.
