plan is in line with the European sustainable development strategy2 : the “Energy- Climate” package adopted at the end of 2008 under the French presidency of the European Union established a “20-20-20” target for the year 2020: a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a 20% improvement in energy efficiency and a 20% share of renewable energies in EU energy consumption. As such, the measures adopted following the “Grenelle” Environment Round Table Talks introduce no further statutory constraints

so the government made built a lot of express-ways, more than 30,000 miles, like in the U.S fifty years ago with its Interstate Highway System. This development has a beneficial effect on the gas stations because now more and more people are filling their tanks, they also ask more than just gasoline, so gas stations has to adjust their offer by building non fuel sections like China Petroleum and Chemical corp. company did. These new purchases made rise their revenue. New car culture in China is

The EU agreed to diminish its emission by 8% to 2012 for the whole space. The following diagram gathered greenhouse as emission changes from 1990 to 2010 for the principal member-states.

INTRODUCTION All reliable examinations and analyses the last thirty years point in the same direction: The use of fossil fuels in the transport sector and the energy provision should not continue like today. The increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the same time period also gives rise to concern. In 1987, the international Brundtland Commission, led by Gro Harlem Brundtland, Prime Minister of Norway at the time, presented the report “Our common future”, the first overall and

if oil production remains constant until it's gone, there is enough to last 42 years. It was estimated by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) that in 2006 primary sources of energy consisted of petroleum 36.8%, coal 26.6%, natural gas 22.9%, amounting to an 86% share for fossil fuels in primary energy production in the world while non-fossil sources such as hydroelectric 6.3%, nuclear 6.0%, and (geothermal, solar, tide, wind ) accounted for a meager 0.9 percent. Fossil fuels

current conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, and this is what people consider as the biggest and most important environmental discussion there has ever been. The main factor for the increase of climate change is the Greenhouse effect which has a direct impact on the human’s life. The Greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which leads to a warming of the planet (Oxford dictionary). As a consequence, the increase of global temperatures entails climate changes (Copenhagen consensus). At the present

almost one degree in the course of the past one hundred and fifty years. The heart of the matter consist in whether we are the ones heating up the planet by emitting into the atmosphere excessive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), accentuating the «greenhouse effect», or not (see map below). If indeed it is our fault, do we still have time to redeem ourselves or are the years left for our species numbered? And should this be the case, what can or should we do? Presented in such a manner the issue of
