"Greece's biggest utility, Public Power Corp. aims to play a leading role in renewable energy, its chief designate said…
"Arthouros Zervos told a parliamentary hearing that lignite would remain PPC's main fuel over the next few years, but he would seek to accelerate the firm's shift to cleaner energy, as the utility would have to pay 1.3 billion euros ($1.91 billion) in carbon emission costs in 2013."
Greece has begun building wind. (click to enlarge)"He also said his top priority would be to revise the firm's business plan, replacing 1,600 megawatts of cancelled anthracite plants with renewable energy sources…"
And some new solar power plants may imporve this grade. (click to enlarge"The plan would also include tendering two new lignite-powered plants as soon as possible to replace older, more polluting plants…"
But it must do something about its standing here. (click to enlarge)"Greece relies on lignite, a polluting form of coal, to cover the bulk of its energy needs and the new government is taking measures to boost renewables in the country, which has plenty of potential solar and wind energy.
"…Greece's Energy Minister Tina Birbili [recently] said she would soon submit a law slashing red tape to unblock hundreds of stranded renewable energy projects in the country."

Often we forget the little guy, the SMB, in our discussions of the comings and goings of the Internet marketing industry. Sure there are times like this when a report surfaces talking about their issues and concerns but, for the most part, we like to talk about big brands and how they do the Internet marketing thing well or not so well.
