Over the years, in Europe especially, we’ ve been pushing hard on harvesting our energy from renewable sources. Whether it’ s from wind turbines, solar panels or hydro water stations- it’ s hard not too see these new power stations opening. This year we’ re finally seeing some results and well on our way to harvesting all our energy from 100 % renewable sources. This year’ s biggest renewable achievement came from Portugal. They managed to supply 100 % of their energy from renewables for four days. Overall this year, 3 / 4 of Portugal’ s energy has been harvested from renewable sources. Over in Germany recently electricity from their renewable sources hit 87 % of the countries need. So much energy was generated that some energy consumers were paid for using electricity as the prices turned negative. Even here in the UK we’ ve up’ ed our |
renewable game, with our huge solar energy plants smashing previous records and beating the power output from coal for

a day. And that’ s with our shit weather! All these huge achievements and we’ re only just halfway |
through the year! But let’ s not
all get caught up here, these are
obviously big achievements but
there’ s still a long way to go to
tackle climate change and truly
become 100 % renewable. But as
these facts show we’ re obviously
heading in the right direction!
DON’ T CHASE THE MONEY You just remember you are
worth what you’ re worth. If you
feel you work hard and you’ re
worth thousands of pounds
then you are. Go out there into
life and command what you
deserve.
