My latest online discussion (in Greek, unfortunately for my non-greek speaking visitors) with Mr. Pougaridis on e-ptolemeos.gr – one of the largest news agencies in Western Macedonia. The discussion revolves around renewable energy in Greece; More specifically we talk about the best practises in the industry based on the European and UK model, the role of resistance from local communities on adoptation of renewables, new technologies such as energy storage and the growing importance of renewables in areas where coal is phased out, like West Macedonia in Greece.
