Securing Energy

Securing energy supplies
On 7 November 2006 a memorandum of understanding on energy cooperation was signed between Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliev and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. The agreement is a further indicator of the EU's policy to diversify energy suppliers throughout the region in order to secure supply to the European market. For European consumers, the Caspian energy reserves and the pipelines that bring the oil and gas to Europe's doorstep are increasing in importance. The EU currently imports 50% of its energy needs but that figure is set to rise to 70% by 2030.

use solar power

Bear in mind the fact that Norway has its own oil supply... We'll see what happens when they run out of it. Will they become a new EU member??

[persondatorer]

Seriously how stupid our politicians are by using money on coal and oil when we have the technology to supply everyone with free renewable energy?

[createsumchaos]

Thank you, I have an EU mock Council meeting on gas supply and this was really useful!

Free energy technology exists!But the Oil coporations life depends on covering this up,Get a REAL working magnet motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the energy revolution!

Solar, Wind, and Tidal power are not efficiant enough to use realistically yet. We shouldn't waste time/money bullshiting with those, we should use the cheap, effective, plentiful resources as we are using them (or as we were using them) Untill we have breakthroughs with other energy. (Such as clean coal, more effective nuclear, possibly fusion, or even just more efficiant solar/wind.

It's pretty obvious that whole Balkans, and not only Greece plays a crucial role in Import Energy of Europe's.

Air Recycling Technology if used in Vacuum Cleaners could save annually in the UK, an amount of energy equal to that generated by 800 Medium sized wind generators.

This is based on tests made for the DTI and MTP.

That is 1.5 TWh of electricity worth £225 million and 650,000 Tonnes of CO2. And a saving of more than 25 Twh of electricity annually is possible in the EU. Equal to £3.25 Billion pounds and 13.5 million tonnes of CO2 emission.

It is still waiting for Government help.

EU yes!!

European Federation never!!!

Portugal wants it's independence!!

Long live Portugal!!

Long live EU!!

Down with europeism!!!

What happens when oil production peaks, stagnates, and then begins to drop? All the while demand increases exponentially. I foresee future wars and famine.

We have a lot of sun in summer in Cyprus though xD but people are too boring to supply their home with a solar power system xD
