Wales Commit To Tacklig Climate Change

The Welsh Assembly Government has made a commitment to tackling climate change by launching a route map which sets out ambitious plans to make Wales self-sufficient in renewable energy within 20 years.

The document suggests Wales could create far more electricity than it consumes but that is only going to be the case if they really maximize the big resources like wind, wave and tidal. However, to really maximize these opportunities, a huge financial commitment is needed from the Government.

Solar, wind, wave and tidal resources have an enormous reserve of energy that could be exploited. In fact, according to research published in the Scientific American, the energy in sunlight striking the earth for 40 minutes is equivalent to global energy consumption for a year. This shows that the potential is out there.
