Introduction

This blog will contain monitoring reports on the performance of Senator Grace Poe on the Greens PH's  SWIFT SHIFT TO RENEWABLE ENERGY AGENDA. 

This agenda covers the following items:

1. Establish as operating principle self-sufficiency and independence from fossil-fuels and oil/coal importation through non-nuclear and non large hydro renewable sources of energy such wind, solar, geothermal, micro/mini-hydro, bio-mass, etc and decentralize energy system optimizing in off-grid system to ensure full electrification of all communities.
2. Accelerate the implementation of the Renewable Energy law providing incentives for more priority investments on renewable energy technologies and development
3. Cautious development of agro and bio-fuels that should not compete with the priority of food sovereignty and biodiversity conservation and should be limited to domestic utilization
4. Oppose the use of large tracts of agricultural lands to plant crops for bio fuels at the detriment of producing food crops and instead turn to non-food plants (like algae) for biodiesel which; adding 5% CME from coconut, will produce one of the best biodiesels in the world without sacrificing even our coconuts as a food source.
5. Rejection of the nuclear energy development option and the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) revival bill.
