Revealed: UK's blueprint for a green revolution

Source

Summary

The European Union has said that by the year 2020 every country in the EU should at least produce 15% of its energy from environment friendly sources such as solar heating, wind turbines and biomass energy. The United Kingdom should do this as well. Now the government has devised a plan to make this happen. It says that the UK should lower its greenhouse gas emissions and its oil usage. This can be done by improving the energy efficiency in the people’s homes whit renovating them, build more wind turbines and use more land to produce crops for biomass energy. The government should give more money to grants and incentives for businesses and households to go green. Not everybody is equally enthusiastic about this plan, but the director of Greenpeace is already enthusiastic about it.

Reaction

I think it is a g

ood thing that the EU is making sure that its countries are actively looking for more environmental friendly ways to produce energy. I am sure it will cost a lot of money but I think that it will be worth it in the end. The way the UK is planning to tackle the problem is a very ambitious one. They should let the British public know what exactly they are trying to achieve with the taxes which are going to fund this ambitious plan. I assume not everybody would be to happy if they have to pay more yet do not see were the money is going to.
