How to realize energy

souvereignty

Many     regions     in     Europa     suffer     the exploitation   of   energy   sources   from   their area.      Energy-companies   or   governments do     not-,     or     hardly,     compensate     the exploitation   which   has   been   going   on   for many years. The   European   Free   Alliance   (EFA,   www.e-f- a.org   )   represents   more   than   40   European regions    from    20    different    countries    and has   seats   in   the   EU   parliament.   Supported by    several    regional    parties    the    EFA    has taken    the    initiative    for    an    independent research   on   most   issues   dealing   with   the development      and      implementation      of sustainable   energy   sources.   This   initiative was    linked    with    funding    from    the    OSF (Onafhankelijke     Senaats     Fractie)     and executed   by   the   University   of   Twente.   As EFA   member   is   was   the   FNP   who   asked   its energy    workgroup    to    organise    the    first Sustainable    Energy    Conference.    This    is also    why    the    conference    took    place    in Leeuwarden, the capital of Fryslân.

THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE CONFERENCE The conference was a great success ! Several   experts   presented   and   shared   their knowledge   for   an   audience   of   over   70   other experts,      representatives      from      several regions   and   participants   from   Universities, parties,   institutes,   energy   co-operations   and other organisations. The output of the conference The   output   of   the   conference   can   be   found via   the   links   in   the   program   as   indicated after   this   text.   Other   links   will   show   video’s and pictures taken during the sessions. As    this    was    an    ACTION-conference    the (parallel-)sessions   ended   with   a   request   to the    participants    to    extract    from    available information   and   discussion-output   proposals for   actions   and   projects.   Also   proposals   for execution:   by   whom,   when   and   how.   This pile   of   information   will   be   transferred   to   sets of     plans     and     document     for     all     who participated,    organisations(in    regions)    and people who execute. Also   specific   proposals   for   the   province   of Fryslân   will   be   extracted   from   the   output   of this      conference.      Participants      of      the conference     will     be     informed     about     the progress. Results Here   are   the   first   reports   of   results   from   the conference:    Frisian    Language    ;        English Language Program You already can download some presentations (green and underlined).
