HELPING THE WORLD TO GO GREEN As the global demand for energy continues to rise, the need for cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels becomes greater. Here are four places that are pioneers in the quest for a greener future. A. Greensburg, Kansas Greensburg on the Kansas prairie, was transformed into America's greenest town after a massive tornado in 2007 left 95 per cent of the buildings in the town destroyed. About half the 1,400 townspeople left, but of those who remained, a group of residents decided to rebuild the town, making use of energy-saving technologies and renewable energy. A 12.5MW wind farm, which supplies 300 per cent of the town's electricity, was built a short distance from the town. The excess electricity is pumped into the Kansas grid. Greensburg was rebuilt from scratch and the most modern, energy-efficient building techniques were applied. As a result, the greatest concentration of gold and platinum eco-design rated buildings in the US are to be found there, including large government buildings which are rated platinum. This resulted in an annual saving for the town of more than $200,000 and a reduction in its energy needs. B. Iceland All of Iceland's electricity is generated from renewable sources; 75 per cent from hydroelectric dams and the rest from geothermal energy. Its unique position on one of the major fault lines of the earth, the mid-Atlantic ridge, means that it is perfectly placed to make use of this heat which comes from the earth. Iceland, once completely dependent on peat and expensive imported coal from Europe, has harnessed this heat to transform its power supply. When water is pumped down bore holes drilled 1-2 miles into the thin crust of the earth, it returns as high-pressure steam, which is used to turn turbines and so generate electricity. This heat is also used directly in the streets of the capital, Reykjavik. They are kept free from snow and ice in winter by a system of underground heated water pipes. C. Copenhagen Copenhagen, awarded the title of Europe's Green Capital 2014, is blazing a trail in reducing carbon emissions. It aims to become carbon neutral by 2025. To do this, it is expected to halve its emissions and produce more renewable energy than it consumes. Measures will include switching from coal to biomass in the capital's heat and power plants. The ultimate goal of the city is to be independent of fossil fuels by 2050. It is also believed that the city can reduce its energy consumption by focusing on improving building standards and energy efficiency. In addition, the capital's green mobility initiative plays a major part in its ambition to become carbon neutral. In 2015, a plan was announced to have half the city's street lamps replaced with LED bulbs. As well as saving energy, these lamps will help keep cyclists safe at night. The move is part of a huge investment in bicycle infrastructure to encourage even more bicycle use in one of the world's most bicycle-friendly cities. The measure, along with the expansion of the public transport system, is part of the plan for 75 per cent of all journeys to be on

These transport solutions contribute to a vision of a city based entirely on renewable energy, and one that could be widely copied. D. Fukushima After being devastated by the 2011 tsunami, which led to radiation leaks from the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the district of Fukushima aims to rebuild itself as a renewable energy beacon. Japan was seriously damaged by the nuclear disaster which resulted in nuclear reactors across the country being switched off. This led to a steep rise in carbon emissions as the country had to revert to fossil fuels. A commitment has been made by Fukushima's government to provide its two million residents with electricity from renewable sources by 2040. Community-scale solar and wind plants are planned. The goal is to have 143 floating wind turbines with a capacity of IGW installed by 2020. According to the reading text, which place 31. will be an example that others can follow? 32. exploits its unusual geographical location for renewable energy sources? 33. used to buy fuel from other countries? 34. aims to cover its future needs using energy from the wind and sun? 35. uses clean energy sources to combat dangerous driving conditions? 36. has had its efforts to reduce emissions officially recognised? 37. had its energy source disrupted by a natural disaster? 38. creates much more energy than it needs? 39. has a strategy to reduce traffic emissions? 40. turned a natural disaster into an opportunity for green town planning?
