Britain loses pole position to Germany for the most energy efficient economy
Yes thats right the UK was in fact ranking no.1 amongst a world leading economy table by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy also known as ACEEE for having our current energy plans organised in a stately manor. We have since plummeted down to 6th with germany leaping into 1st position, but why have we take such a significant plunge?
The fall is mostly down to policy rollbacks, the ACEEE credits each country points according to different criteria for example energy saving goals. Of course you are probably wondering on the reliability of this scorecard with the UK previously holding pole position, the ACEEE's data may not be entirely precise therefore should be used as a guideline. Around half of the ACEEE's credits had true value, when considering alterations in the countries energy intensity and the total miles citizens clocked up through traveling in vehicles. The remaining scorecard was more to do with judgements to how country's energy efficient plans were going to schedule. With all this said the scorecards should be seen as a guide rather than concrete evidence. Although the research definitely illustrates just how much effort certain countries are making to reduce energy consumption, It's also useful that countries can see where they are lacking!
