Global Warming <strong>and</strong> its <strong>local</strong> <strong>effects</strong><br />
Our school was talking about Global Warming <strong>and</strong> especially about renewable energy sources<br />
<strong>and</strong> the <strong>local</strong> <strong>effects</strong> in Upper Austria. For us it is very important to know about these things<br />
<strong>and</strong> how we can change our situation.<br />
Upper Austrian energy saving targets <strong>and</strong> projects in the past <strong>and</strong> for the future:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Upper Austrian government introduced an energy concept in the year 2000 (ENERGY<br />
21). It has already reached the following targets:<br />
� 23% more of the energy has been gained from renewable sources, which is fortunately<br />
a lot more than expected<br />
� <strong>The</strong> solar panel areas have been more than doubled<br />
� <strong>The</strong> percentage of eco-power used for producing current has raised about 600%<br />
� About 20 energy-, exploration-, <strong>and</strong> development projects have been arranged<br />
� <strong>The</strong> usage of fossil fuels has had a decline of almost 5%<br />
� <strong>The</strong> Austrian households have reduced their CO2 emissions by about 16%<br />
