How to choose your supplier of Energy

[GreenCharlotte]

Hi everyone !

I'm french, and in my country, until recently, you couldn't choose your supplier of energy. It was EDF (Electricité De France) which provided energy, an energy which is mainly nuclear. But, since the first of July, we can choose our supplier of energy !!!!
But you have to be very careful if you don't want to be screwed up ... some suppliers have already advertised they are "green", although there are not ... (that makes me think of a commercial from Total, in which we could see wind turbines. NGO lodge a complaint against Total because it only owns ... 5 wind turbines in whole France !!!)

Anyway, to choose properly your supplier of energy, Greenpeace has published a report, named "Ecolo-Watt", which compares and gives a mark to all the suppliers. You can find it here

The big winner is Enercoop with 17 out of 20 ... !!!

Have a nice choise !!

Even bad things like nuclear energy can have good side effects.

Nuclear power plants are very slow in regulating the power output.

The electric energy demand is in the night much less than at daytime.
So big problem to chagen the production according to the demand with so many % atomic power like in France.

There was one solution for it: electric cars charging mainly at night time.

But the first attempt around 1991 failed because of insufficient battery technology.

The batteries themselves were also highly toxic and mostly non recyclable since it used a chemical reaction to maintain its charge.

Also some of the efficient ones that were designed, were either stolen, Destroyed, bought out, Life threaten, murder of the scientist creating it or Black shelved to prevent the technology from competing with the current big business. Due to the nature of how the tech was suppressed it is nearly impossible to prove and those like my self who say these things regarding the tech are written off as Conspiracy theory crackpots. Black ops project goes on all the time, nothing new there. Watch the movie "where did the electric car go" to get the idea. I have not needed to watch it for everything that I know regarding the subject is in the movie. I have seen the "spoiler" trailer for it though.

The real key is not which energy we use, but how efficient we use it and how much. Reduce population would go along way in becoming more sustainable in that it is fewer people draining the limited resources
