Energy efficiency is the very basis of a more sustainable society and Russia seems to have understood that. This is a great news as the country is one of the largest coal consumers. As I note in my latest article for CleanTechies :
“Some interesting news recently went unnoticed. Indeed, last month, Russia unveiled a massive energy efficiency plan as the country wastes as much energy as the French economy consumes.”
The $300 billion plan will save the country up to $35 billion per year. For more please read the full article there. All comments and feedback are welcome !
As TreeHugger noted yesterday the President of the Russian Confederation, Dimitri Medvedev, believes that the current heat wave and assorted droughts and wild fires occurring in his country are a wake up call.
Indeed, having a look at the current situation in Russia and its capital city Moscow sure makes you think about climate change and how associated phenomena can turn any country in a most dramatic situation.
The situation is so dire that Russia may soon change its mind on global warming and may now be willing to avert it before it is too late… or is it already the case ?
