Raising the share of renewable energy from 8.5% to 20% in the overall energy consumption is a necessary contribution to the global fight against climate change and towards better control over our energy dependence. The various uses of renewable energy are examined: electricity through wind and hydraulic energies; electricity or heat through geothermal and solar energies; electricity, heat, and biofuel coming from biomass. The EU is a world leader in the use and deployment of technologies that exploit renewable energy sources, providing over 350.000 jobs and an annual turn-over of € 30 billion.

did you hear that? The European Union is the LEADER! The US doesn't stand a chance GO! TEAM EUROPA!

Getting 20% of estimated 2020 energy need from renewable (even excluding hydro) is ambitious, and will require massive investissement (and some clash with NIMBY's) but I think it can be done. What could be much more challenging is to get the rest, 80% from fossil fuel. That I think is almost unpossible, unless we send troops around the world to secure oil.

The question is simple, the answer depends on individual and colective conflict of interest resolution. Thanks for this documentary and for the constant effort to reach a global policy to limit climate change. We are all responsible! by DEQVF dilige et quod vis fac

You are the perfect case of the stupid arrogant American.

It does thank you. Its a shame Germany will be closing their nuclear plants in favour of.... well I assume buying electricity off of the French.

100% within 10 years. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAH

so is this a current proposal or did it pass?
starwarsgeek8 (July 26, 2008 at 4:02 am)
This is an amazing step forward. Need to see more of these worldwide. However, I have seen SO many plans to incorporate green energy but NONE that includes actually trying to REDUCE energy USAGE. WHY OH WHY??????

From a UK view interesting after BERR has been caught red handed trying to scupper renewables by changing words to make the legislation meaningless. The nuclear old boy network and the big energy oligarchies and BERR are in cahoots. Renewables means competition & lower energy prices. As far as energy Gordon Brown is brown (as in coal). If he is green, it's luminous!! (nuclear). He hasn't got a clue about wind, solar, tidal & biomass.
