| Danish City to go Carbon Neutral by 2029 |
| 2012-11-01 |
| “Project Zero is actually a vision,” says Christian Eriksen, Project Director, Project Zero A/S, the private firm charged with implementing the plan. “It’s a vision of a CO2-neutral Sønderborg area, no later than 2029. Not done by cutting the main breaker and killing the power, but based on sustainable growth and creating bright green jobs.” “To do this,” he adds, “we’ve adopted a holistic approach that’s bottom-up. It’s not just top-down, about planning and coming up with business and new technology to drive this forward. It’s also very much about participation, about learning, and empowerment of our citizens and local companies.” |

| #4 As long as you can get the rest of Denmark/EU to subsidize them, they should do very well, thank you very much. Oh yes and grants! lots and lots of grants. |

| #3 What happens if the "new technology" doesn't work/isn't invented in time? I always love plans predicated on an ideological wish list that just presumes science. Cold fusion anyone? Hell, HOT fusion anyone? |
