On 28th April 2009 we took part at the Europe Forum where we heard many important people talk about "energy-a conflict area: trends and horizons". Something that impressed me really was that one main difficulty to reduce the CO2 emissions in China etc. is the following: In this country many people don't even have electricity. Their main problem isn't how to reduce the CO2 emissions but how can we get everyone access to electricity. If now the European Countries want to reduce the CO2, they have to consider that China first has to make this development Europe has already made, before they focus on other things. And because this is mainly a problem of money, European Countries need to help to use alternative energy instead of nuclear power plants or coal. (Nada)

how is that in Switzerland - can you as a consumer choose what kind of energy you want? Can you choose to buy only solar energy for example?
