INDEPENDENT FROM FOSSIL FUELS BY 2050
It is the Danish government’s clear opinion that the green road is the one we all need to travel eventually. There is no denying, that there are strong reasons for action. In the coming decades more and more people around the world will achieve the means to a modern lifestyle, that they aspire to.
The global need for energy will continue to rise as a car, a fridge, a city break will become part of the lifestyle of many more people. Our lifestyle has in the past been driven by cheap and easy access to oil, coal and natural gas. That road is not an option, which will be open to us in the future. We will face ever increasing pressures from the twin forces of climate change and the hunt for finite and ever more marginal sources of fossil fuel. One would think, that these two forces ought to be a sufficient spur for action.
