Although France wants to have 23% Renewable energy by 2020, the region of Midi-Pyrénées is more ambitious, and wants to become the first green valley of europe, with a Green production of 100% energy.

The UN warned that the world is moving closer to several “tipping points” in global temperature, beyond which some ecosystems that play a part in natural processes such as climate or the food chain may be permanently damaged.

The solution exists as a combination of exploiting all the available Renewable energy resources together into the grid to provide more than enough energy to supply our daily needs and completely eradicate our dependence on oil & gas.

The further expansion of Renewable Energies is key to achieving the EU climate targets set for 2050. Following the 2009 Renewables directive and the National Renewables Action Plans determining the growth path up to 2020, discussion has now started on the post-2020 Renewables policy.

Building on the EU Energy Roadmap 2050, the EU Commission has initiated the discussion with the recent renewables consultation followed by the Communication on Renewable Energy.

Are 2030 renewables targets needed ?

How can we balance the required investments with reducing the costs of renewables?

How can EU member states cooperate more closely on jointly fulfilling the renewables targets?

It’s time to move on. Our country, and all of us, need to move from a fossil fuel past to a Renewable energy future.

The mood in Britain has turned very much against the Big Six energy companies. And it’s not hard to see why. People are fed up with the unethical pricing, complex tariffs, awful customer service and the dire lack of investment in new sources of Green energy.

It’s become quite unbearable, self evidently. Even the government are calling on people to leave the Big Six.

People:Power can bring change to the energy sector — when people join Ecotricity they vote with their energy bills – and the more that do so the better. Together we can harness the energy bills of Britain and direct them to a proper outcome – the creation of a Green, energy independent Britain — a Green Britain.

http://www.infineon.com/energy-efficiency – Energy means life: It heats houses, powers cars and lights megacities. The global appetite for energy is voracious, while resources are dwindling.
One third of the energy consumed worldwide is electricity and the trend is rising. The name of the key energy source of the future is energy efficiency. Optimal electricity use is achieved by harnessing smart semiconductor technology: Innovative chip solutions fine-tune cars, industrial plants, consumer and household electronics to use less energy. And smart meters permit evaluation of every kilowatt hour with to-the-minute accuracy, helping to save electricity.
The future of Wind Energy can be identified in offshore areas worldwide. Looking just at the North- and Baltic Sea, around 30 offshore wind farms are planned to come up in the next few years.
Tomorrow’s electricity grids will be smart
The electricity grids of the future will feed themselves locally from wind, sun and water. However peaks and troughs are inevitable. Smart grids will control the power supply and demand thus ensuring a reliable flow of current.
Employing Infineon’s innovative semiconductor solutions means that electricity comes from the socket with low losses. Our power electronics transmit energy from the power station to the consumer efficiently, over thousands of kilometers.
