Forget a white Christmas: this one was greener than ever before. The Guardian reported in a recent article that the energy used over Christmas 2016 was obtained from 40% renewable sources.
Sources of renewable energy include wind power, solar energy and hydroelectric technology. In the past, investing in these and other forms of renewable energy was perceived as too expensive by many people. This encouraging news shows that modern-day renewable energy technologies can supply a significant proportion of the UK’s energy requirements.
The figure of 40% is a marked increase from 25% in Christmas 2015, indicating a clear shift from reliance on fossil fuels. Technology used in wind turbines is much more affordable now than in years gone by. This is crucial to the success of green energy production as sources must always be efficient and cost effective for application to be feasible on a wider scale.
