A few years ago, Al Gore was there. Al Gore went to work to stop global warming. In Europe there was a #klimaatakkoord prepared for the European countries. The earth would warm up at a rapid pace by, among other things, the flow that needs to be generated for us. For the generation of energy comes #CO2 pretty what makes for the #opwarming of the #aarde - Yes. Al Gore has helped ensure that countries have to comply with CO2 emissions requirements. #europa

Who is Al Gore?

Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., was Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. He is now primarily committed to the earth and has led countries to invest more and more in renewable energy. In 2007, he made global fame for the phenomenon of global warming by organizing a benefit concert Live Earth. On every continent a concert was arranged and many famous stars have cooperated. Al Gore co-owns the company that deals with energy-saving technology.

What is renewable energy?

Despite that products are becoming #energiezuiniger , we consume a lot of energy per household. The energy can be generated in various ways by nuclear power stations or by natural resources. The latter is also called green electricity or renewable energy. Renewable energy can be generated in different ways: wind, sun, water and biomassed.

  • Wind energy is generated by wind turbines that run by the wind. In this way, energy can be generated.
  • Through sunlight, energy can also be generated. The sun's sunlight shines on solar panels and can convert it into energy. This can also be used for private people who have some of those solar panels on their roof. Water can also be heated via the panels so that a boiler does not have to be used much anymore.
  • Since the installation of a dam and the subsequent passing through a number of channels, energy can be generated. The water flows through the channels to the other side by the force that is released energy is extracted.
  • The latest technology to generate renewable energy is on farms. The excrement of the animals is stored in a tank and the gases released in the process can generate energy. #duurzameenergie #energie

Renewable Energy in Europe

By 2020, the countries that have signed the climate agreements should generate 20% of the energy sustainably. For each country, 1990 is the base year in 2020, so 20% of the energy in 1990 must be produced sustainably. The government must take care of this by installing windmills or subsidizing solar panels for companies and individuals. The electricity bill will increase by about 9 Euro in 2013 through the additional tax that will be charged. In this way, the Netherlands can comply with the agreements made and thus use more renewable energy-generating materials. In 2011, 3.8% of the total energy consumption of our country was generated sustainably. Sweden and Norway are the real frontrunners of Europe. For this purpose, the total energy consumption is generated by renewable energy by 48% and 62%. Now this is easier for those countries because they have a lot of water from the snow and rain that falls. Furthermore, there are a few months in the year much longer light than with us. Because the countries do not have the same conditions, it is difficult to compare it with each other.
