20% renewable energy by 2020

Posted by admin on Mar 21, 2009

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 …

it makes no sense.. …
it makes no sense…I mean the private sector can either turn the page or let India and China turn the page for us…All they have to do is turn electric companies into the “oil”. Demand will always be there and you go green. Make the people happy and get paid. It’s that simple growth increases at 7% a year… and doubles every 10. SO Wake Up private sector nothing’s free you know just copy Warren Buffet and you get paid. haha

I was looking up renewable & just watched 20% renewable energy by 2020. If you think you may be interested in Saving Up To 25% on You Monthly Electric Bills see my testamonials and commercials to learn how. Not just for Homes but Companies too. Save Electricity maybe save some jobs. Thanks Jarid ~ ToledoGoGreen ~ If not just delete this. Trying to save the Environment.

Wrong. The EU also has a goal to reduce energy consumption 20% by 2020, so its more like ing with the wind.

Whatever else you think about it, nuclear is not renewable (fusion does not exist yet). Also, the EU imports 99% of its uranium ore.

Sorry Flamingtide, …
Sorry Flamingtide, you are wrong. Coal is exceedingly expensive to run and it is heavily subsidized by governments, as are the oil companies. And solar thermal does not emit carbon. That seems to be the point. And solar thermal plant expenses are far more easily recovered than coal. And new renewable technologies are very efficient. Please do some research before you spout nonsense and fossil fuel propaganda.

Solar panels break …
Solar panels break easily are expensive to instal and have low energy returns. We should focus on nuclear its the only renewable source that has a high output.

Ok, i am getting a little sick of people saying 20% isnt good enough. It may surprise you to know but renewable energy isnt that efficient, it’s expensive and takes a long time to set up. , portugal is JUST reaching 10% and it’s been at it for years

insane. only 20%? …
insane. only 20%? and the guy says it’s ambitious? that’s almost like propaganda against renewables.
why can’t we set up solar panel fields, and link electric networks between countries? that would be litterally free energy, (once the construction cost is paid back). why not invest in that? cover up deserts with solar panels.
I think the only time when ppl are going to move to renewables is when the oil gets too expensive and that’S soon. renewables will soon be competitive on the market.

Demand for energy …
Demand for energy will be 20% more than it is now, so its like ing against the wind. The only thing we can try is reduce consumption by 20%

Alternatives to …
Alternatives to existing tech appears constantly based on completely different elements and structures. Companies that hold patents other than energy companies have no direct interest in oil. What energy companies do have only will slow down the process.

I believe that substituting one fuel for another in small vehicles is a mistake unless taken as a temporary measure.

Of course in some vehicles use of fuels is unavoidable, eg trains, aerospace, ships.

Also NiMH patent is done in 2015.

For my point of …
For my point of view E.E, dont give the seriously support for research and development in renewable energy. Too few jobs, too few research, too few implementation of renewable energy projects at most Countrys of E.E.
And the most negative that n is consider nuclear energy is consider clean! … E.E. must change politics because planet and economy need it. the party is over.
