"Green enery'. Realize that much of it is just a greenwash. Example: in my country there is now an assault on every last tree. Why? Well, 'biomass' lobbies succeeded in having 'wood-pellets' declared as 'renewable' (they aren't, even appart from the ludicrous lag in the process still >30% is 'wasted' in the cycle). This means that in order to avoid a European fine tied to the government reaching a certain level of renewables by 2020, they are now strip clearing all public land and turning into wood-pellets for burning.
The minister in charge has even admitted it is ludicrous, but he will not change the policy as he does not want to risk the EU fine.
