Milan is the pollution capital of Europe
Milan is the pollution capital of Europe
"After years of close competition, we finally have a clear winner in the “Pollution Capital of Europe” contest. While Milan may be better known for fashion and (everywhere except America) excellent soccer teams, it appears that it’s also the most polluted city in the whole of Europe."

European Union unveils detailed plans to cut GHG emissions
Excerpt:
"European Union leaders today unveiled detailed draft plans to reduce E.U.-wide emissions 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. The plans would require utilities to buy all of their greenhouse-gas emissions permits beginning in 2013, as opposed to the current practice of allocating nearly all of them for free, which companies can then sell at a profit."

How Africa's desert sun can bring Europe power
How Africa's desert sun can bring Europe power
Excerpt:
"Europe is considering plans to spend more than £5bn on a string of giant solar power stations along the Mediterranean desert shores of northern Africa and the Middle East.
More than a hundred of the generators, each fitted with thousands of huge mirrors, would generate electricity to be transmitted by undersea cable to Europe and then distributed across the continent to European Union member nations, including Britain."

EPIA Says Solar Power Can Help the Developing World
EPIA Says Solar Power Can Help the Developing World
Excerpt:
""The photovoltaic technology has proven to be one of the best solutions to bring flexible and long term solutions for rural electrification in the poorest areas of the planet. Therefore the EC [European Commission] must ensure that their initiatives address the real energy needs and the suitable technology to provide sustainable access to electricity. A main criterion is to reinforce support to small and medium sized projects," said Ernesto Macias, Vice-president of EPIA and president of the Alliance for Rural Electrification."
