Sustainable Energy for all

Today’s session started with the somewhat forgotten introduction  -  some old members appeared after a long absence and new patrons joined the club.
A diagram about energy saving tips in everyday life triggered a discussion about Ukrainian realities.

 
 












The session was dedicated to the topic "2012 – International Year of sustainable energy for all".
Solar cells and wind farms are good solutions for some countries
We have read an article that explained the goals.This initiative will engage governments, the private sector, and civil society partners globally with the goal of achieving sustainable energy for all, and to reach three major objectives by 2030:
•    ensuring universal access to modern energy services
•    doubling the rate of improvement in energy efficiency
•    doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
We have learned about the initiative for the developing countries –  clean cook stoves. Julia Roberts, a famous American actress, is a leader in the promotion of this initiative.
Several relevant You tube clips were watched and discussed.
We have read and discussed a diagram about the energy saving tips for Australia, Unfortunately, not all of these tips were applicable to our country conditions.

Some unorthodox opinions were expressed about the reasons why  the sustainable energy implementation is so difficult in many countries.
Have a look at more pictures, please
