The economic crisis must be addressed to the green
Cosi 'America and Europe look to a future radically different, led by renewable energy and ecological resources.
Italy, the forty-fourth largest in the world, no cares.
America - radically changes its energy policy
Remember, these energy-antiecologici that we used to see how the world's worst examples inqunatori! Those burgers, fries and Coke. Those of the crack and the financial bubbles that are dragging behind the whole world ... The Americans, that's right! Who would think that will ever change their polluting lifestyle, which is so outrageous to be called "American model"?
Well maybe the future holds a surprise. And 'in fact this crisis could put serious doubts the current model of U.S. consumption.
So what better opportunity to elect Barak Obama to ride this wave of change itself as against the president that will revolutionize the way we think the progress, driving a green revolution!
Obama promises, with the new American energy program called "New Energy for America " to give aid to a non-conventional economy that is no longer standing:
- will create 5 million new jobs with an investment of more than $ 150 billion in 10 years to direct private investment in a future clean energy within 10 years
- want to save Oil consumption equal to that currently imported from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela
- wants to raise 1 million hybrid cars in circulation by 2015 built in America.
- Ensure 10% of the energy produced from renewable energy by 2012 and 25% by 2025
- introduce the mechanism of certification to limit emissions and reduce emissions by 80% by 2050
cards are enough to bring America to lead in the race to fight on emissions and pollution. And if the ability to surprise the Americans will live this goal with their usual enthusiasm we could also see that Europe wants to overcome itself as a world leader in ecology is that every day but inexorably slowed by misunderstandings and internal failures.
Europe - More and more willing to lead the fight against Global Warming
has' long been proposed in the front row a few years with the adjustment to the Kyoto treaty and more recently with the project 202020 which will perhaps in December, will become a binding commitment for the European nations (as it is the Kyoto treaty) which provides for:
- Cut 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions
- Make up to 20% energy renewable
- Saving 20% \u200b\u200benergy
And on this topic it was discussed again on November 26 in Brussels to ' ECOFIN (European Council of Economics and Finance), where economic ministers of the European community have come together to figure out how to tackle the current economic crisis, drawing also shared an energy plan: To propose a
- new strategy for energy solidarity between Member States and a new policy on energy networks to encourage investment in more efficient networks that distribute energy and low carbon emissions.
- Presenting a new EU action plan on energy security and solidarity which sets out five areas where more action is needed to ensure a secure and sustainable.
- Examine the problems facing Europe between 2020 and 2050.
- Strengthen legislation on energy efficiency in buildings and products that consume energy.
- Giving more importance to the certification of energy performance and inspection reports for the heating and air conditioning.
Meanwhile, in these days, Poznan is being United Nations Conference on Climate Change and the economic crisis and the central table there 's just the 202,020 plan to try to translate it into implementation document.
Italy - He steps back, slows down in Europe and the world rankings.
Unfortunately we do not know anything about the energy policy of the Italian government. No details retrievable in any government program or election.
The only positions taken Italy on energy and the environment are vague and daunting:
- Generic package no 202020 of the European Union reiterates how often the Minister Prestigiacomo (found only in newspapers)
- Reduction deductions and the total capital available to invest in renewable energy (55% famous account of energy and photovoltaic )
- The green light NUCLEAR contained in the financial : Page 16 - Interventions for the development
And it is Italian this historical neglect and complete indifference to the global ecological problems that we drops lower and lower each year in the global scale of the polluting countries.
Today, in Poznan has been presented the report "Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) organization German Watch positioning Italy at 44 'place among the industrialized countries to higher emissions of CO2, just later followed by Romania and Poland and China.
If we look from time to time on the site of the Kyoto Club, climb the "potential fine" to Italy by the United Nations on failure to meet Kyoto (currently at 1.4 billion euro), and the continued silence and absolute lack of interest on our government's policies energy that remains is to hope that this summit in Italy during the United Nations imposes a serious business and requires specific and binding targets.
