Energy

Alternative and renewable energies such as wind and solar power are essential to shaping our future. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in the last 30 years energy demand has increased by 40 per cent in countries such as Italy and by up to 130 per cent in China. How can we meet this growth in a constantly expanding global economy? Clean electricity can be sourced from natural elements such as water, wind and the sun, and from geothermal power, crops, underwater currents, high altitude winds and oceanic waves. Renewable sources are unlimited and can be harnessed through low-impact power plants, causing minimal CO2 emissions. Here you can find transparent and accurate news and information promoting awareness about clean energy and the decline of fossil fuels.
