How can we overcome the influence of Big Oil and move to clean energy?
I notice that Bil Oil is already big time attacking the suggestions of Gore that we move to Clean Energy sources within 10 years.
Of course the oil companies have puppet strings on congress, etc.
So are we ever going to be able to move to cheaper cleaner energy sources? Are car manufacturers controlled by big oil also?
Is there any way to fight the big oil companies and move on to cleaner energy sources?
There is really no Big Oil…just big consumers.
When you give your car away, and opt for an electric car…unplug everything you own and go totally solar..then you are ready to move to clean sources.
But as long as we consume, they will produce.
20% renewable energy by 2020
Raising the share of renewable energy from 8.5% to 20% in the overall energy consumption is a necessary contribution to the global fight against climate change and towards better control over our energy dependence. The various uses of renewable energy are examined: electricity through wind and hydraulic energies; electricity or heat through geothermal and solar energies; electricity, heat, and biofuel coming from biomass. The EU is a world leader in the use and deployment of technologies that exploit renewable energy sources, providing over 350.000 jobs and an annual turn-over of € 30 billion.
