Swedes want more renewable energy
Swedes want more renewable energy
27 Mar 2007
More people than ever in Sweden want the country to expand its use of environmentally friendly energy sources. Support for hydroelectricity and biofuels has increased, according to a study from Gothenburg University, which also shows that just over three-quarters of people want Sweden to concentrate more on wind power, while 83 percent want more use of solar power.

Wave farms show energy potential
Wave farms show energy potential
By Jason Margolis, BBC
Proponents of clean energy have long seen the oceans as a great hope for the future. Ocean waves carry tremendous power, and could, in theory at least, provide much of the world's electricity.
But while other sources of renewable energy - such as wind and solar - have been widely adopted in recent years, wave energy has been slow to take off.
But that's changing. Scottish engineers will soon deploy an offshore "wave farm" in Portugal, says this detailed news report @ BBC News. Read the full report here

Wave Of Support For Tidal Energy in UK
Wave Of Support For Tidal Energy
23rd March 2007, Carbon Free
Despite key political support, the British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) said it was concerned that this rhetoric is not yet being backed up by long term policy support. It said that the publication of the Marine Bill White Paper provides the overarching framework for planning and consenting marine renewable energy projects but claimed this needs to be backed up by new financial support mechanisms, if the UK is to retain its current global lead.
