Pavel + 384 PP December 15, 2017 New directive of the European Union to double current renewable energy by 2030. Great but not if you plan to cut trees and burn them for energy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TraderTate + 186 TS December 15, 2017 You mean the plan is to burn down forests, or are we talking about tree farms? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP December 15, 2017 Directive foresees cut of an old trees and at the same time to renew the forest funds. There's a lot of contraverse about this and this directive is "interesting" by the way it enables cutting trees to achieve these goals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP December 15, 2017 It already lasts for a long time. According to report of Birdlife's Black Book of Bioenergy protected forests in Europe felled to meet EU renewable targets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Turlington + 44 KT December 15, 2017 Indeed we do sometimes waste energy to save energy ... when we go overboard and don't let renewable energy evolve more naturally. That said, I haven't read the directive. I think we should focus on ways that bring fossil fuels and renewables together for a transitional period. Like having a solar farm produce oil (re California). This makes sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
