Renewable Energy Advocates Call for End To Fossil Fuel Use But Recognize Challenges

摘要

Scientists, researchers, and policy advo- Icates from around the world called on governments to move quickly to 100 percent renewable energy at a conference hosted by the Turkish section of the European Association for Renewable Energy, known as EU-ROSOLAR. "We are behind the times," Peter Droege, president of the Liechtenstein-based EUROSOLAR, said at the June 27 conference. Droege said total reliance on renewable energy would both mitigate global climate change and improve human health. Air pollution from fossil fuel burning results in 100 billion euros in health care costs annually in Europe, according to Droege.
