The environmental organization develops a plan to save 14 billion euros on fuel, to halve CO2 emissions and provide renewable with half of the world's electricity by 2050.
Colpisa. Madrid
Greenpeace International and the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) have pergeñado an 'Energy Revolution' to show that there are ways to change the current energy model based on fossil fuels and the atom, to make a bet renewable able to downgrade drastically CO2 emissions and thereby contribute to the fight against climate change. It only remains, said the environmental organization, the "political will".
Designed by over forty specialists, the plan calls on governments around the world with a view to the event in Poznan (Poland) of the annual UN Conference on Climate Change, as of December 1. Although the session key to defining the future 'post Kyoto' from 2012, after the expiry of the term of the Protocol, will decide within a year in Copenhagen, the summit of Poznan measured the temperature of the 'willingness' to cut international CO2 emissions responsible for global warming.
Greenpeace hopes that Poland will ratify the EU commitment to reduce by 30 percent by 2020. "The planet can not withstand the current rate of emissions," he stressed Juan Lopez de Uralde, executive director of Greenpeace. In his view, "is mareando the partridge" and wasting time "precious" to encourage debate on a "false choice" as is "nuclear energy".
The study advocates a "revolution in the way we produce, distribute and consume energy," explained Jose Luis Garcia Ortega, head of campaigns for Greenpeace energy. The key would be the progressive abandonment of the energies' dirty 'and its gradual replacement by renewable sources, combined with an energy efficiency improvement and the application of new technologies. With these goal posts would ensure that emissions of greenhouse gases no longer grow in 2015 and 2050 were reduced by half with respect to 1990 levels, the base year of the Kyoto Protocol.
Efficiency
Only by improving energy efficiency and avoid waste, in 2020 the global savings in energy consumption equivalent to current Western Europe, and in 2050 would reduce global consumption by half. The annual fuel cost savings would amount to some 14 billion euros. If in 2030 renewables accounted for 50% of the world's energy could dispense with nuclear weapons. At that rate, at the end of this century, wind energy, solar, marine, biomass and so on. completed one hundred percent of demand. According to Greenpeace, with the technology currently available, "renewables could provide nearly six times the world's energy demand."

Asturias is at the forefront of modernization
Vicente Alvarez Areces reiterated its commitment to modernizing the justice in Asturias, especially in the adoption and application of new technologies, for which the agreement initialed yesterday earmarked three million euros. Justice Minister Mariano Fernandez Bermejo, supported the effort: "In terms of modernization," he stressed, "Asturias not go to start a journey than that of the rest of Spain. In computing the area, "he added," will be in the forefront. "
Bermejo, who stressed that "today (yesterday) is a great day for Asturias', said that despite the transfers," the Government of Spain is not going in the Principality, since the transfer agreement involves the creation of a monitoring committee, comprising members of both administrations. According Areces said, the agreement represents a "great achievement" for Asturias, as it reflects "all demands" that had arisen from the autonomous government, including 26 seats for the three courts which will start operations in Asturias (Oviedo, Gijon and Aviles) in January, the cost of twelve new jobs in the Office of Judicial Aviles, resources, personnel training, union agreements for the departure of the strike of civil servants (2,431,000 euros) or physical examinations. In personal media, the transfer means opening up to the Regional Administration of 1,159 public employees.
According to the Minister, "since the Socialist Party is in power, things-in regard to transfers of Justice have been easier. There is more to do with the figures. In eight years in office the PP was leading two, Madrid and Navarra, and in a legislature and a bit of executives José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero have been closed three: Cantabria, Asturias and Aragon. Only six per transfer. "

Traffic change the law to try to recover the full amount of fines
Objective: To accelerate the collection of fines and avoid the current payment of 40% of the sanctions. To undertake this task, the Government yesterday approved the draft amendments to the law on traffic, which was announced several months ago. One of the main developments in the text, which will have to go far by the parliamentary procedure is that the motorist who commits an offense will receive a single communication of the complaint, instead of three warnings, as was the case until now.
The deadlines for filing claims remain, but traffic Express aims to encourage payment, and this has set a deadline of 15 days during which the accused will have a discount of 40% of the amount of the penalty. Currently, the time required to receive prompt payment is 30 days, with a reduction of 30%. In cases where the offender pays neither this nor the claims procedure shall be terminated within a month and the sanction shall be final.
The draft also addresses the amount of fines. The mild, punishable by up to 90 euros, to spend 100; the grave, which accounted for between 91 and 300 euros, 200; and very serious, between 301 and 600 euros, 500 euros will. In addition, economic punishment may be increased up to 30% "by the existence of circumstances such as the potential danger created." In the case of excess speed, the penalty will depend on the miles on those exceeding the speed limit.
The increase in the number of complaints for which there was for and identifies the driver has been a handicap for the DGT, which now seeks to avoid the tricks used by motorists stricter punishment for the owner of the vehicle he was driving who does not communicate reliably in the moment in which the offense was committed. It is proposed in these cases the suspension of the registration certificate for one month.
The postal and publication of the allegations in the official gazettes are two major sources of expenditure for the administration. This is also wants to tackle. This "must allocate" a legal person holding a vehicle an "E-mail Vial" in which the fines will be notified. They may also have one of these addresses individuals who request it. The remaining drivers will continue to receive notices through the post office, but only once. It also created an online "bulletin board edictal of sanctions" which are issued fines of which has not been possible otherwise. Are now included in the official gazettes, which charge by inserting these warnings.

Videogames upward
Only 6% of the top selling games are violent
The Association of Retailers and editors of Entertainment Software (ADES) has granted for the seventh consecutive year the awards to reward the best-selling video games of 2007. The ill winds of crisis does not seem to affect an industry whose sales reached a value of 1454 billion euros. The way the game is that, in the past year, 33% more titles have reached the number of units sold to qualify for these industry awards. In total, 72 games have been rewarded for ADES thanks to its sales in 2007. Six of them have received the Award of Double Platinum, to overcome the 160,000 copies sold, 23 others have won the Disc Platinum (over 80,000 copies) and, finally, 43 more have achieved the Gold, with over 40,000 units in the market.
The prizes are different for each format, and given the fact that a game can be achieved several awards. This is the case of 'Fifa 08'. This simulator football has been the undisputed best of 2007, with double-disc platinum and platinum on PS2 in the PS3 and Playstation Portable. After football, games and social action headed the list of blockbusters. The two titles in the saga of karaoke SingStar (and Latin Pop Hits) have reached double-platinum awards each, along with action games such as wrestling franchise of American WWF Smackdown Vs Raw 'or the spectacular Assasins Creed. Other sagas such as Call of Duty 4 have achieved triple gold in various platforms.
For platforms, consoles will be strengthened as the leaders of the PC sales compared with nearly 82% of the video game winners. Contrary to what might be thinking, the more violent video games are not the best sellers. Just 6% of the games winners have been classified as' only for adults over 18 years' and children's franchises such as "Imagine being ', Ubisoft, has achieved all its games to reach gold, platinum or double platinum in the case Imagine being the mom.
Piracy does not seem to affect the sector with so much force as is believed, and for the first time in the history of these awards, the awards were handed ADES under the II International Forum on Digital Contents (FICOD) organized by the Ministry of Industry , Tourism and Trade.
This edition of the awards for the video game industry confirms a trend increasingly visible: the momentum gained by the titles of musical themes as Guitar Hero III, High School Musical or SingStar Pop Hits and SingStar Latino, the last two title winners with Double Platinum. The consoles are increasingly appliances designed for the enjoyment group and the music is an irresistible attraction for many casual players. Konami, and it showed in his days with the saga of games Dance Dance Dance Revolution and Sony continued to the wire with its SingStar karaoke.
The trendy music does not stop there, Xbox just to market an advanced karaoke called Lips, in which the wisdom of the user at the time of singing following the rhythm should be combined or dancing, thanks to its motion-sensitive microphones. Nintendo, meanwhile, is preparing for the launch of Wii Music, a simulator in which the chameleon command of the Wii turns into dozens of different musical instruments. Guitar Hero is already a classic and has now been remastered edition with the On Tour, which adds drums and vocals ala guitar.
