The Energy Watch Group has warned of the danger to UK and World energy supplies and calls for a faster development of renewable energy sources. As the UK increasingly depends on imports of oil and gas due to steep declines in domestic production the Energy WatchGroup (EWG) will release the findings of its latest study into global fossil fuel reserves at a press conference to be held in the House of Commons next Monday (March 18th).

If you have been looking for ways to cut down on your energy spending while contributing to salvaging the environment, the government has offered you an opportunity with its Feed-In tariffs (FIT) scheme. The Feed-In Tariffs scheme is administered in countries like the UK by Ofgem as a means of speeding up investments in renewable energy across the UK. Before we see the benefits of the FITs scheme, here is a look at why you should embrace renewable energy. MORE
To accomplish this, the world needs to urgently switch to clean and renewable energy. Clean energy sources will need to triple and completely dominate world energy by 2050, the IPCC report concludes. Increasing carbon emissions are largely due to an increasing demand for energy and a rising coal use in countries such as China. We need to end the current dominance of coal, oil and gas and replace them with cleaner and more renewable energy sources. MORE
China has been the world’s largest consumer of energy since 2009 when the country surpassed the US. The majority of the energy which is produced and consumed in China comes from dirty fossil fuels. According to numbers from the International Energy Agency (IEA), about 78 percent of the total electricity generated in China between 2004 and 2010 came from coal. To combat this, China is investing heavily in more sustainable and cleaner energy sources. MORE

While fossil fuels' annual growth is in the low digits, and nuclear's share further shrinks, renewable energy sources see growth rates of up to 70 percent every year. Today, renewables already supply 16 percent of global primary energy consumption, and 20 percent of worldwide electricity. Amongst the most rapidly growing national renewable energy markets in 2010 were China (+ 26 percent), Germany (+ 10.4), and the United States (+ 5). MORE
RenewableUK, the trade association representing the wind, wave and tidal energy industries, has strongly criticised the report "Renewable Energy: Vision or Mirage", published on 12th December by the Adam Smith Institute and Scientific Alliance.

We need to end the current dominance of coal, oil and gas and replace them with cleaner and more renewable energy sources.
