margot@iwith.org (Margot Berg) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:24:00 +0100

Many european and asian countries are moving forward to new energy models which allow the sustainable development of their economies.

This process is nor eary neither immediate and means high expenditures. However, these expenditures are even less than the price we would have to pay if we didn’t act on time.
