Renewable energy

Fukushima, it is an accident of excess for the antinuclear powers which ask for the nuclear closure of power plants in the various countries of the European Union as Germany, France but for the countries which had planned to return in one nuclear energy as Italy, these projects were put between bracket until a referendum announces the continuation or the cancellation of these projects. In Germany the reactions made this accident are rather violent as appearances, the elections taken away gained

With the growing needs of the modern world in energy a lot of questions can be asked as to how it should be produced. In the 1970’s France made a decision to heavily rely on nuclear energy for its needs. It is now the country in the world that uses the most nuclear energy. This type of production remains a very controversial subject and a hot topic. Many oppose it and address its major flaws. This paper will try to assess the pros and cons of nuclear energy, taking for basis of study France, its history

this study represents the Adrar site located in the south west Algeria. Thus, we have inferred from this work as part of a configuration of the stand alone hybrid system obviously depends on available energy resources and constraints. On the other hand we have highlighted the role of the renewable energy uses in reducing emissions of greenhouse gas (CO2 rate = 16086 kg / year for a system using only the generator diesel and is 599 kg / year for the stand alone hybrid system studied). Keywords: Hybrid

Period : For my training period, I was taken on at Ecoenergy, for two weeks, for my Electrical Engineering diploma. Ecoenergy are located in Nantes near Sautron. It is quite a large company with 5 branches in France, who specialize in Renewable Solar energy. The company is quite new; it was started in 2007, by Eric Lecoq. And in 2010, it changed its name Ecoenergy to Vuelto Solar. This is how work is organized: * First, a salesman visits the client * Then, he inspects the site, takes

to establish a common European energy more sustainable and durable The second priority is to fight against climate change. This 2 priorities are divided on 3 points called “ 20 – 20 – 20 “ or “ 3 x 20 “ because the European Union must: Raising the share of renewables in the energy mix to 20% Reduce CO2 emissions from European Countries of 20 % Increase energy efficiency by 20% by 2020. In 2008, only 8.5% of the energy consumption comes from renewables resources. It must be increased

2010. This article is quite pessimistic since the title is “The politics of disaster”. Under this title, we can see a caricature of Barack Obama who seems devastated. He is in the slick with a paper in his hand, the energy bill, whereas a man behind him is holding a dead bird. The energy policy of Barack Obama is considered as “a mess”. As the title of the article underlines the main theme of the text, we understand that this article focuses on the Obama’s current policy in the United States but also

Europe POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LARGE-SCALE DEPLOYMENT OF OFFSHORE WIND POWER IN EUROPE BY 2020 By the European Wind Energy Association EW EWEA was mandated by its Board of Directors to set up a working group on offshore w shore wind power. This report is the result of the group’s work, undertaken in the second half of 20 pow alf 2007 and chaired by Gordon Edge, British Wind Energy Association (BWEA). and The The Offshore Wind Industry Group (OWIG) members are: Gordon Edge, BWEA, Chair Gor Loïc

foundation of economic growth by beginning a new era of energy exploration in America” stated Barack Obama. Indeed, on November 5, 2008 Mr Obama elected president of The United States focused on the environment throughout his campaign. He decided to set up a Green Bill to improve the American way of life. His investment plan will be 150 billion dollars over 10 years to promote sustainable development. His main goal is to develop renewable energy. In fact, his first idea is to increase the price of
