Making the right choice

The assumption that energy companies are losers in global warming debate is not correct since ultimately they are the key holders of funds necessary to develop infrastructure for other energy alternatives. Since either ways we need energy to go about our lives, hence, we are on the same side with energy producers. Therefore it is on us to believe global warming by supporting the kind of energy resources that are most sustainable for us, for environment and for future. The change of behavior toward energy use will ultimately drive investments toward the path we deem most suitable for humans, living creatures and planet as well. By disregard for conspiracy theory over global warming and initiatives to mainstream environment friendly-behaviour we will participate in decision making process based on common sense and the logic of risk aversion and management. This is historical and opportune moment for us as habitants of this planet to rectify our energy use and make wise choices.






British household’s energy use totals 27% of national carbon emission 1% annual increase in energy use
Households’ energy use:
12% lights & appliances ( vacuum cleaners and refrigerators, etc.)
59% heater
24% hot water
5% cooking

Effect of household size on energy use: 5 member households energy consumption halves that of 1 single households.
