Interessante, mas um tanto ou quanto inesperado (amplitude e intensidade do que está a ser feito) - apesar da credibilidade que atribuo àquilo que Sócrates, até prova em contrário, reivindica nesta (como em outras) matérias. Tenham em atenção:
- The world’s largest solar photovoltaic farm is strangely beautiful... By 2020, Portugal plans to generate over a third of its energy from renewables, with that percentage increasing every year. The farm, located high on the Alantejo Plain near the small town of Mouro, will be twice as large as any other project of its kind.
The world's biggest wind farm also lies in Northern Portugal, with more than 130 turbines. Portugal’s plans for wave power are sparking interest around the globe, as well. Currently, the world's first commercial wave farm is being assembled near Porto. These "sea snakes", developed by the Edinburgh-based company Pelamis, will shortly be towed out to sea and will start pumping electricity into the grid later this year.
Portugal has already made its mark as a world leader in switching to clean energy. Why? Partly because unlike other developed countries, Portugal doesn't have an economy dominated by coal, gas and uranium extraction industries.
Portugal is leading the European clean-tech revolution, and economics minister Manuel Pinho hopes that this is just a start. He recently told UK’s Guardian that Portugal looks forward to a potentially giant global investment into clean energy tech.
