Green energy

A third of the energy produced in the Valencian Community is already “green”. Within two years that is set to rise to 42%. There has been a 6o fold increase in the production of solar energy in the last four years. And under the Plan Aeolian Valencian, 67 wind farms will be constructed which will provide 80% of the energy consumed in the Community.

Calculations show that this use of green energy will save 20 million barrels of oil per year added to which, the reduction of greenhouse gases is said to be equal to planting 140 million trees.

The big question is; will this reduce the cost to the consumer?

I think I already know the answer to that question.
