"There is much we can learn and apply in the UK. It seems that the success of the cooperative sector and their community-driven approach in the field of sustainable energy are dependent on key factors:
• Support: development support and technical advice provided by the people
that know the fields best – the practitioners and their representatives
• Commitment of government and local authorities to community involvement and
ownership, to a co-operative approach and to many small-scale units of all kinds
• Public familiarity with the range of cooperative structures
• Public consensus that the price for energy should not be the only driver in
energy policy
I am keen that we work with all possible partners in the UK and in other EU member
states to learn from the experience of Denmark and Sweden and show that cooperative
and community approaches can help deliver UK government objectives.
Thank you to Nick Dodd and his team and to the DTI for giving us that opportunity.
Dame Pauline Green
Chief Executive
Co-operatives UK"

hoe kunnen we duurzaam energie een handje helpen? niet de weg inslaan van kernenergie - dit vergt vaak grote investeringen van de overheid (want zeer risicovol) en dat gaat ten koste van stimulering van (kleinschalige) duurzame oplossingen. Als je geen kernenergie wilt, kun je je mening laten horen op http://bit.ly/kernisbah of kom naar de manifestatie op de Dam in Amsterdam op 16 april 2011
