European UnionThe European Union will give over the next decade up to 50 billion Euros to research on low carbon energy. Solar energies will receive 16 billion euros, wind power 6 billion, nuclear 7 and energy from waste and biomass 9 billion.

This is due to enable the 27 members to compete on cleantech with the United States, Japan and other countries in the cleantech arms race and to create up to 250,000 jobs within the next ten years.

All this money will represent a good investment for our common future as it will cut pollution, greenhouse gases emissions and energy imports. For more, please check out the official press release.

Some random wisdom

“It is evident that many wars are fought over resources which are now becoming increasingly scarce. If we conserved our resources better, fighting over them would not then occur…so, protecting the global environment is directly related to securing peace…those of us who understand the complex concept of the environment have the burden to act. We must not tire, we must not give up, we must persist.” — Wangari Maathai
