Solve the problem and its a shame they support governments that dont respect human rights in that respect and they did it to money the religious organizations have managed to get the Italian Government to grant a thousand visas last year they brought about seven hundred migrants from lebanon to italy safely and without having to pay people smugglers large amounts for the dangerous crossing of the mediterranean sea.

And now its on the label idea is serious when we meet people committed to preserving our planets climate feel around for an hour. A Spanish Island off africa wants to be the first in the wilds to make do without fossil fuels. Thats what the residents of and yet oh one of the Canary Islands have been promised at least. All reports in henna went to see how much progress has actually been made. Its early in the morning and. The trade winds are blowing the clouds over the volcanic mountains this Spanish Island off the west coast of africa is almost always windy so why not make use of it. The smallest of the Canary Islands is trying to realise big plans to supply all about surround seven thousand inhabitants with Sustainable Energy through a unique combination of wind and hydro power the energy shift has cost eighty three Million Euros and ran twenty million over budget critics say thats far too much even of half was covered by e. U. Subsidies but the project still hasnt those the aspects supporters. But i mean. I think its very positive that as yet it was able to actually implement this project. At the beginning a lot of people doubted it could be done but today its a project that works one that creates jobs and brings in money. In the next few years it will turn a profit. And if you see the Wind Turbines produce more than enough energy to meet the islands own needs the extra electricity is used to pump water seven hundred meters up to a reservoir basin its one hundred fifty thousand cubic meters are a kind of natural insurance against when list days if the wind power drops off the water flows back downhill through a hydro power turbine bridging the sort fall. This one of a kind combination of energy from wind and water is aimed at reaching an elusive goal providing a steady unbroken strain of power even when nature doesnt play along but things havent worked out quite as planned because the region is earthquake prone the basins had to be built smaller than originally designed providing the entire island with green energy was always an ambitious goal and it still hasnt been reached last year the new facility only generate at forty percent of the power consumed on. The original calculations. But structural problems meant those plans couldnt be realized. What really threw them out of kilter was the low water basin which we couldnt build to the size that we wanted. Thats now proving a hindrance to producing and not Sustainable Energy we want. Thats disappointed many of the islands residents they had hoped electricity bills would fall instead just like in the rest of the country costs for power have actually gone up thats because prices for energy are regulated centrally in spain lots of people now say the project was all wind and no substance. So. They announced that our island would be provided with one hundred percent Sustainable Energy and that hasnt happened we ask why not and dont get any answers somebody needs to explain to us why its not working. But once promised to shut down the old diesel driven power plant but no one talks about that anymore a fuel tanker still makes regular trips to the island and the old plant smokestacks still blow lots of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere as the brand new wind turbine spin on the heights above. The operators. Press spokeswoman defends the expensive investment she says that despite speed bumps al Heroes Energy mix is now much more environmentally friendly but it was in the past. And theyd be made on your job in the first year of operations in twenty sixteen we saved nearly seven thousand tonnes of diesel that means we emitted fourteen thousand tonnes less of c o two and other islands will profit from the pioneering work weve done what did we get right what wrong its in the nature of things that pioneering projects are experimental and that they also serve to help optimize future facilities. The engineers are certain they can improve efficiency in their Sustainable Energy mix but theyve grown much more careful about what they promise a series of offenses plan to reignite enthusiasm for the project among residents and encourage other islands to follow in their footsteps. Dass called Biosphere Reserve is doing its best to continue to be a leader in environmental protection. L. Euro used to be viewed by european sailors as the end of the world but when it comes to shifting completely to or knew about energy at least its now made progress toward a new beginning.
