Europe's renewable energy directive will aim to double Europe's renewable energy consumption by 2030. The downside to this directive is the fact that European officials will promote the use of wood as a renewable, low carbon fuel.
Under this directive wood should be treated as a low-carbon fuel, which could eventually lead to great harm to the world's forests because the magnitude of using wood as biofuel will likely be far greater than it is now.
Many researchers fear that this qualification will lead to massive new cutting of the world's forests. It has been calculated that the additional wood equal to all of Europe's existing wood harvests will be needed just to supply 5 percent of Europe's energy.
Some researchers estimate that using wood for energy will likely result in 10 to 15 percent in greenhouse gas emissions from Europe's energy use by 2050.
The Chinese government has recently cut solar incentives thus leading to suspension of many new solar projects. Nonetheless, China doesn't want to lose its leading position on global solar energy market and has established International Investment Alliance for Renewable Energy with the main emphasis on solar power.
Wind energy is clean, renewable energy source that doesn't contribute to climate change. Wind energy is together with solar energy the fastest growing renewable energy industry in the world. 
Clean energy is becoming attractive option to many homeowners and businesses. It is not just about going green and helping our environment as it also helps you save money, especially on the long run.
There is almost a general consensus among the prominent environmental scientists about the urgent need for progressive climate policies with 97% of them blaming human activities for climate change. Sadly, the politics is still far away from what science suggests and globally speaking the world is still taking cosmetic measures rather than going for the full face surgery.
