How Europe can save the world

summary

Recently the European Union has brought up a deal which was the most important since the foundation of the Union 50 years ago. The 27 EU-nations goals are to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by 20% by 2020 from their 1990 level. The plan is to change the type of energy they are using, to use renewable or alternative sources such as water, air, tidal power and bio-fuels. After 2010 many changes in Europe will be done. They are trying to reduce the carbon emissions by any possible way. Every power station will have a carbon capture and storage technology which eliminates carbon emission virtually. Biofuel will be a great alternative for the energy, and Europeans are planning to grow plants in all idle lands, and this will cover 10% of all petrol by 2020.
The problem is that it is not easy to accomplish all this and there would be many obstacles. The price of the renewable energy is expensive and the production of the energy would cause environmental confusions. Another huge impact would be on the European business field. The main European Economic Community is the Coal and steel Community, which produce high carbon emissions. In order to find a solution each European country will try to find another source that won’t affect the economy. France is depending on nuclear power in a big range, therefore nuclear energy can be a substitute because it does not produce carbon emissions. Finally this future plan is working well, and it is showing in Europe nowadays.

Main point

Europe has started before the entire world in a future scheme to reduce the GHG emissions. Many politicians supported this scheme and the awareness of global warming. Nowadays there is global awareness for governments to prevent climate change.

My opinion

It is not easy to reduce the carbon emissions around the world. It would take years because of the world economy, the use of fossil fuels that are dominant and the high expenses of the renewable fuel. After all I think that this problem can be solved if everyone cared and contributed to reduce their carbon footprints.
