Examples of different energy policies and their results

Canada and Norway (hydropower + supplement)

– Finland (cogeneration) – Denmark and the Netherlands (wind turbines + fossils)

– France (hydropower + nuclear + fossils for peaks)

– USA (predominantly oil and coal, without energy savings) with cost per kWh, park installed according to the different energies, and CO2 emissions in each country

Depending on the audience’s demand, the speaker may focus his lecture on some of these modules
