No nuclear, no coal Monaco rediscovers ecological

From an article in La Repubblica says:

The capital of Bavaria wants to convert the coverage of its energy needs: by 2015, utilities private, from 2025 also those from the corresponding industrial and commercial TARQUINI

ANDREA BERLIN - No to nuclear, no coal, we are one of the most modern cities in the world, we want to become a city that uses and consumes only green electricity from renewable sources: wind, solar, hydroelectric. The choice of Monaco of Bavaria, the postmodern iperindustriale ricchissimacapitale and Bavaria. Which decided to take advantage of the next goodbye to nuclear energy to convert the fund to cover its energy needs: first, that by 2015, all private users, then ten years later, in 2025, even as the industrial and commercial will receive electricity from the town, the Stadtwerke München (SWM) only green electricity.

So SWM, whose customers are 95 percent of the inhabitants of the city during the boom years of Monaco, became the fifth largest German energy giant Eon after, Enwb, RWE and Vattenfall. Since the Isar 2 nuclear power plant, which currently provides 25 percent of the energy needs of the city, will be switched off in 2020 as part of the German farewell atom civil Monaco in a hurry.

The SWM is investing big in projects for the production of renewable energy everywhere, from Andalusia, where 50 per cent funding a huge solar power plant which will be ready in 2011, up to a huge wind farm in the North Sea. Ironically: the investments are still possible through its profits from nuclear power plant. "

is yet another example of an engine of Europe that Germany invests its futiro in alternative sources, while Italy ...
