EU agrees renewable energy target

A very good news about more green energy.

The 27 EU states will each decide how they contribute to meeting a 20% boost overall in renewable fuel use by 2020.

The measures could include a ban on filament light bulbs by 2010, forcing people to switch to fluorescent bulbs.

The bulbs last longer but more are more expensive to buy.

In another key measure, agreed on Thursday, EU leaders said they would cut carbon dioxide emissions by 20% from 1990 levels by 2020.

The EU plan involves:


  • A 10% minimum target on the use of bio-fuels in transport by 2020

  • A commitment to increase use of solar, wind and hydroelectric power

  • A possible ban on incandescent bulbs - with filaments - in offices, street lights and private homes by the end of the decade
