Human Rights

In the page Talk: Human rights in Singapore (Difficult to find this info) was critics, why human rights are not having equal weight in different countries. I add this issue here as relevant, equal to Energy in Singapore. Watti Renew (talk) 16:42, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Renewable energy obligations

Suomen Luonto, Finland's largest nature magazine, wrote some years ago that in California there are renewable energy obligations or targets for the energy companies, and not allowed to buy coal energy from the other states. In Finland there is nothing alike. The Finnish government sets energy targets, but the energy companies invests where they want. It seems for me that the most capital is tide in fossil and nuclear energy in Finland. How does the system function in California? Have you increased the share of renewables in California? Please include the info in the article. Watti Renew (talk) 17:55, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Imported energy sources

Title "Imported energy sources" is problematic. Peat is fossil and both imported and domestic. Bioenergy statistics does not always make difference between imported and domestic. Watti Renew (talk) 17:38, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison to Germany

Finnish biggest newspaper Helsingin Sanomat published an opinion according to which our ignorance worsen climate change and misleadingly German wind power produce only scarce 8.5 %wind power and 7 % with solar power. According to text German emissions are the same as in 1990 “ (HS 19.2.2014 B10) - Please explain how much are these combined compared to Finnish coal or gas import? Could 15.5 % not substitute also in Finland a share of the fossil energy import if we made the same investment in wind and solar? Would total of 15.5 % of solar and wind energy be scarce in Finland or could it substitute fossil coal and gas? - Here is a conflict with data: the Guardian claim that German has dropped their emissions 21 5 % from 1990 to 2012 [1]. Has Germany dropped emissions from year 1990 as claimed by Guardian or not as claimed in Finnish paper? Please explain. Watti Renew (talk) 16:51, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Energy in Germany: According to IEA German Climate gas emissions have dropped ca 12 % from 2004 to 2012; and Energy in Finland Finnish emissions 19 % drop from 2004 to 2012 but only below 2 % from 2008 to 2012. Decline of emissions in Finland correlate somewhat the use of primary energe. A part of industry is closed in Finland and moved to other countries where emissions are neglected.

Needs rewrite

Electricity production in Finland has been in a rapid change in the last few years, a lot of wind (and a lesser amount of solar) has been built and the OL3 nuclear reactor has just come online. Finland is probably a net electricity exporter by now. Electricity imports from Russia stopped as a consequence of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. 193.211.51.125 (talk) 09:25, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
