An ecological concern
General public prefers the development of renewable energies
to that of any other source of energy, primarily for ecological reasons.
Indeed, under the pressure of the ecological concerns, the solid fuels and the
nuclear power start both a decline in the production of electricity. In the
current state of the equipment and technologies, the simultaneous reduction of
these two energy sources is likely to create economic tensions and of
provisioning in the absence of a voluntarist policy of management of the
request.
Moreover, the quality of the air has been, for a few years, a
political priority of the European Union and it will remain it. In 1992, at the
Top of the Earth in Rio de Janeiro, the Union began to stabilize in the year
2000 its CO2 discharges on the level of 1990. In Kyoto in 1998, it was
appropriate of a reduction of 8% compared to this level for a whole of six
gases for purpose of greenhouses, objective to be realized between 2008 and
2012. The protocol of Kyoto should have deep consequences on the energy policy
of the decades to come and in particular on the use of renewable energies.
All thus states that renewable energies will play a part
growing in our energy provisioning, the European Commission having considered
it them able to contribute a significant share to the achievement of the
objectives of reduction of gases for purpose of greenhouse.
