Pär Holmgren: Sluta klaga – köp ditt eget kraftverk

När elpriserna går upp klagas det över höga elpriser, men i stället för att klaga kan många mycket enkelt se till att kostnaden för elen blir lägre. För drygt tio år sedan köpte jag och min fru andelar i vindkraft. Vi betalade då totalt 24 000 kronor för fem andelar som sedan dess har gett oss 5000 kWh per år till självkostnadspris. För närvarande betalar vi 59,4 öre per kWh, och det inklusive både energiskatt och moms.

Hur mycket betalar du? De senaste tio åren har vi betalt cirka 30 000 kronor för vår hushållsel. Anledningen till att de andelsägda kraftverken kan ge så billig el är att de som bygger verken inte behöver låna ihop pengar till bygget. Men hur kan jag då vara säker på att det är just mina ”gröna” elektroner som kommer ut genom kontakterna hemma i huset? Emergency and Disaster Information Service. Green Tech. GreenTech - TechCrunch.

Ecosystem services

Collectively, these benefits are known as ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are regularly involved in the provisioning of clean drinking water and the decomposition of wastes. While scientists and environmentalists have discussed ecosystem services implicitly for decades, the ecosystem services concept itself was popularized by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) in the early 2000s.[1] This grouped ecosystem services into four broad categories: provisioning, such as the production of food and water; regulating, such as the control of climate and disease; supporting, such as nutrient cycles and crop pollination; and cultural, such as spiritual and recreational benefits.

To help inform decision-makers, many ecosystem services are being assigned economic values. §History[edit] In 1956, Paul Sears [7] drew attention to the critical role of the ecosystem in processing wastes and recycling nutrients. §Definition[edit]
