Real Energy Security is Staring Us in the Face/ Renewable energy case studies from South East Europe




Publisher: CEE Bankwatch Network

Date: December, 2007

Volume: 48 pages, pdf

Description

This publication sets out to provide a quick snapshot of renewable energy projects in south-east Europe. With a host of fossil fuel and nuclear projects currently being proposed across the region, sustainable energy initiatives have it difficult to reach the general public. While international financial flows generally follow the bigger, “easier-to-handle” projects, unfortunately only small drops are adding up to create a renewable energy and energy efficiency future. It is beyond argument that renewable energy has much lower environmental and social impacts than other energy sources. The only issue remaining is how much it costs. Technologies have evolved to compete with fossil fuel and nuclear energy if life cycle analyses and the externalities of energy production and consumption are considered.
