Factos...

Este blogue tem se feito eco de algumas boas notícias no campo da produção de energias renováveis (ver apontamentos sob a etiqueta energia). Cumprindo com a sua linha de "preocupação qualificada", no entanto, é de apresentar outros factos, que as perspectivam, e (infelizmente) as relativizam, como este, por exemplo:













"Investments in renewables are expected to reach $750
billion by 2016 according to Ernst & Young: a large increase over the
baseline, but insignificant compared to an anticipated $22 trillion in overall
energy supply investment needs by 2030, projected by the International Energy
Agency in 'World Energy Outlook 2007.' Several factors tend to mask this mammoth
gap. Growth in renewables is celebrated without reference to the bottom line,
and the fossil-fuel sector has been successful in removing relative investment
rates between energy sources as a factor in measuring corporate performance on
climate, being two examples."
